THE SRI LANKA ASSOCIATION OF NEW SOUTH WALES INC (SLA) was established in 1973 with many objectives to represent the interests of the Sri Lankan migrant community in NSW Australia. The SLA prides itself as the only such association in NSW representing the interests of all Sri Lankans despite their ethnic or religious backgrounds. The Federal and State Governments of Australia also recognise SLA as the main advocate for all affairs concerning the local Sri Lankan migrant community and the political and economic interests of Sri Lanka as whole.

// Our Project //
It takes 1 blood donation every 8 seconds to
meet the ongoing needs of patients across the country. Yet only 1 in 30 people
donate blood, while 1 in 3 of us are likely to need blood in our lifetime. With only 3%
of our national population being responsible for supplying 1.3 million blood donations
every year, you can see why new donors are needed. We are inviting and
encouraging all eligible members to register with us to donate blood.
Sri Lanka Association of NSW Inc., in keeping with its constitution, is committed to assisting individuals and families of Sri Lankan origin with their transition to new lives in New South Wales, Australia. One of Association’s main mission is to provide guidance, support, and resources to make the settlement process for new migrants as smooth and successful as possible.
Becoming a part of the Association means joining a network of members who share similar experiences, values and backgrounds. Our community events and activities are designed to bring people together, celebrate our rich cultural heritage, and provide ongoing support for all members.
