Est. 1 October 2008 · Incorporated Non-Profit Association
Association of Nepal Terai in Australia
Promoting Teraian identity, language and cultural heritage — and uniting our community across Australia.
Our Mission
The mission of the Association of Nepal Terai in Australia (ANTA) is to promote the Teraian community’s identity, awareness of languages, and cultural heritage — while fostering harmony, mutual support and opportunity for Nepalese Terai people living across Australia.
Who We Are
ANTA is a non-profit, non-political and non-religious association of Terai people living in Australia. Since 2008, we have brought families together to celebrate our shared language and culture, support one another, and give back to communities in the Terai region of Nepal.
We are run entirely by volunteers — ordinary members who give their time to organise events, support newcomers, and keep our traditions alive for the next generation.
