Profile of the Austrian Associations of Australasia
It exists to foster co-operation and interchange of ideas amongst its members, to
promote our Austrian heritage and culture and to give the Austrian Community in this part of the world a common voice.
In 1989 on the initiative of Hermann Wandl, Austrian Club Sydney, Frank Kornfeld Austrian Club Canberra and Bruno Rabensteiner Austrian Club Melbourne, a meeting was called, the Association was formed and a committee elected with Hermann Wandl the inaugural president
Since then the Association has grown considerably and now has 12 member clubs all over Australia and New Zealand.
The Annual General Meetings are held each year in a different city of Australia, and hosted by a different member club. The distances between the cities are by European standards enormous and consequently the travel costs for the delegates to our meetings very high. Because of this tyranny of distance the meetings during the year are mostly conducted via Conference Link. This provides us with a very cost efficient way of doing the necessary club business. Some work is also done via email. Technology is on our side!
To provide a presence in cyberspace, this website has been developed for our member clubs as a free service. It is maintained and expanded continually.
A very important area of our Association’s work is organising and co-ordinating tours
of Entertainers from Austria, and occasionally also from Germany and Switzerland.
AAA sponsorship has resulted in a great variety of entertainment groups visiting Australia..
From Choirs to Dance Groups, from Show Bands to Classical musicians, each has brought to this country a style of entertainment which transcends most national and ethnic boundaries.
Everyone is welcome to our shows and activities
