We are AHA. A community organisation set up by Haryanvi brothers and sisters.
We work with the community to provide help, opportunities and assist in assimilation.
We believe it is our responsibility to contribute to our community and our adopted country.
By working as a team with the common goal of promoting culture brotherhood and harmony.
Living in a country like Australia is a privilege indeed and we are lucky to call this beautiful country home. While we fulfil our obligations and duties as responsible Indian Australians, as proud Haryanvis we also need to keep our unique culture alive, contribute to the society, celebrate our vibrant festivals and thrive as a community in Australia. The Association of Haryanvis in Australia (AHA) has completed two successful years in pursuit of our goals. The journey has been rewarding and we all have a long way to go together.

As Haryanvis living in Australia, we need to be there for each both in times of need as well as on occasions that call for a celebration. We have identified some key areas where the community often needs to come together to support fellow citizens.
AHA has invested in Milap - a senior citizens' centre with recreational facilities for our elders. They love spending time with fellow seniors here. Milap also serves as short-term emergency accommodation for new migrants to Australia.
New arrivals in Australia need help on several fronts - education, career, legal and more. Professionals from the AHA team are always available to guide them and provide assistance to help them settle down. Attending community festivals makes them feel at home.
