We would like to thank all who attended or contributed to the event and look forward to continuing working with the Fijian and broader community.
Almost 10 years ago, the Fijian Community Association Victoria Inc. was founded. It was established by a few like-minded volunteers who had the Passion and Purpose driven initiatives to explore opportunities whilst preserving our proud and rich Fijian culture and establish a community organisation with an aim that it will become the peak body of providing community support services that will enhance and empower the quality of life of Fijians in Melbourne and across Victoria through community welfare support, spiritual and holistic approach, family and youth support, language & culture and sports.
10 years on, we are thankful and grateful to God for guiding us, leading us and providing us with the necessary resources that have all shared a helping hand in transforming these great ideas into reality.
