This group of independent individuals and organisations first came together in 2005 to discuss ways of meeting the changing needs of Filipino Australian families in suburban Melbourne and rural Victoria. It soon became apparent that for growth to start, each must take on the responsibility to be an agent of change- by preserving positive Filipino values, embracing our present home with other citizens of this country and by shaping together a shared future in the heart of Australia. The group formed informal partnerships to support one another’s associations; the young from Sunshine worked with older ones in Geelong; skills were shared; we learned to fundraise for projects to help Filipino, Maltese, Vietnamese and Sudanese youth alike. We found ourselves showing potential young leaders a different way of thinking, working with other groups, working with government and relating to the bigger world.

In 2007, the group formalised existing community connections by registering as an Incorporated Association with Consumer Affairs Victoria.

Filipinos from Australia, Filipinos from the Philippines and abroad, local and international non- Filipino students with an interest in Filipino culture. Our aim as an organization is to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of Filipino culture, and to promote camaraderie and understanding between ethnic Filipinos and the larger international student body here in Melbourne. Our activities include informal get-togethers for members, participation in MUOSS activities such as the Festival of Nations through performances and the preparation and selling of Filipino food. We hope to promote an expanded membership for the future, and offering lessons in native dance as a forum for encouraging participation in the club.Filipino Students Association
