Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations

The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations is the national peak body for 22 Ukrainian Australian community organisations. It is widely regarded as the 'community voice' on matters concerning Ukrainian Australians and ties between Australia and Ukraine. The AFUO works closely with State-based Ukrainian Australian peak organisations. We represent 22 peak Ukrainian organisations in Australia such as churches, state community organisations, youth and women’s organisations, credit co-operative movement, educational, returned service, language and other organisations. The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations is a member of the Ukrainian World Congress, the peak body for Ukrainian organisations in the diaspora. The AFUO works to promote a positive image of the Australian Ukrainian community, encouraging its members to maintain religion, language, culture and heritage whilst being active members in the broader Australian community. The AFUO also maintains strong links with Ukraine. Its charter calls for it to promote, initiate, plan and represent the Ukrainian community within Australia. The AFUO is run by a team of committed volunteers.
