Who We Are

The ANA is an incorporated fraternal organisation dedicated to fostering a strong sense of community among its members.  With a rich history dating back to 1871, the ANA has a tradition of improving members’ social, financial and moral wellbeing.

Our members meet regularly, for social gatherings, debates, dinner parties and career advancement assistance. Our members are encouraged to engage in the outdoors, including hikes and camping trips, as well to give back to the community, through charity and environmental cleanups.

We are dedicated to the promotion of Australian culture and sense of identity, as well as the development of a naturalised, European-descent community, in line with our Charter of Principles.

We are not a political party or an ‘activist organisation’
