Introduction

Our club started in 1985 when a Fijian Choir from Labasa comprising of 88-members visited Geelong and Melbourne to promote the Pacific cultures in the Australian community. Fijians in Geelong got together to organise concerts, church services and host the group.

Since then every year we participate with at least forty other ethnic groups at the Pako Festival in Geelong, organise get-togethers, language classes, dance classes, visit isolated older Pacific people, assist with immigration problems, provide accommodation for visitors on medical visas, contact tertiary students from Fiji, demonstrate art and crafts, network the Fijian families and friends of Fiji in the Geelong region and western suburbs of Melbourne. Our club is represented by our President and his wife Wendy on the Diversitat Committee (once called Geelong Ethnic Communities Counci).

Membership

Membership is open to people of Fiji origin or friends of Fiji, with a nominal membership fee of $5 per year or $10 per family. At present there are over 20-families in the group including several Tongan families.

Management

The Club is a non-profit organisation and has been an incorporated organisation since 1995. At an annual meeting the President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Project Officer are elected for the year. We receive funding from such bodies as the Multicultural Commission, Victoria, which assists in facilitating our management, planning, events, and travel to such occasions as Fiji Day in Melbourne.
