ASA manages the Sikh Centre located in Glenwood. The main focus is to serve the spiritual, religious, cultural and social needs of the Sikh Community and establish charitable and welfare programs for the community, including:

  • Programs to promote an understanding of the Sikh philosophy, religion and culture, and to provide a common meeting ground for the exchange ideas with other community groups to promote interfaith dialogue, tolerance and harmony.
  • Facilities to cater for the Religious and Spiritual needs of the Sikh Community (both in happy and unfortunate circumstances, e.g., Births, Deaths and Marriages).
  • Provision of free service for the needy, for example:
    o Accommodation
    o Meals
    o Language school
    o Counselling
    o Meditation facilities
  • Donations to Australian Charities and causes.
  • Programs to relieve distress, sickness and suffering from the disadvantaged in necessitous circumstances.
  • Sports and recreational activities connected with mental, spiritual, physical and social welfare of the community.

It is worth mentioning that all above activities and programs wouldn't be possible without the strong community support and the tireless effort of countless volunteers. These volunteers come from many backgrounds, bringing many skills and working together as a team to deliver a range of services. Even the management of ASA consists of proactive individuals who come from a variety of backgrounds and who work without remuneration.

The only aim being NISHKAM SEWA (Voluntary Community Service without desire of any reward) for the community development. This sentiment is also one of the basic principles of the Sikh Philosophy.

ASA thanks all volunteers for their continuing support and efforts - you are the true unsung stars!
