About ORISCON
The "Orana Residents of Indian Sub-Continental Heritage"-ORISCON is a nexus of various cultures, vividly portraying the spirit of multi-culturalism.
Overview of the Organisation
All our contributions are authentic, informative and focused on building strengths.
This organisation was created around 2001, a small group of migrant families wanting to educate the younger generations through dance, song, story telling and theatre.
The organisation was registered in 2016, and the Constitution was endorsed through community consultation. The governance groups were bedded down, and the organization created ways of connecting with the broader migrant and mainstream Australian communities.
We are a not-for-profit volunteer-based organisation, and we encourage individuals and multicultural communities from across the Indian sub-continent, and the wider diaspora, to identify and address their own issues. We work in collaborative partnerships with a number of discrete cultural and linguistic groups, NSW government agencies, the Australian Government, Local Government, not-for-profit and philanthropic organizations to provide cultural, social, and educational, programs and services that have both immediate and long-term benefit for the regional community.
We do not have any paid staff.
