Bengali Association of Western Australia

A Home Away from Home for Bengalis in Western Australia

About us

At BAWA, we have showcased and upheld our cultural legacy and language for more than three decades. We have created a home away from home for Bengalis living in Western Australia.

We are a growing community. What started with couple of migrant families four decades ago has developed into a vibrant socio-cultural organization. We thrive by welcoming new people in, fostering our integration into the wider West Australian community, cherishing our ethnic heritage and contributing in our own way to build a multi-cultural Western Australia.

We love celebrations and host several big events throughout the year to uphold our social and cultural legacy and customs.

Puja and Festivals

We celebrate Durga Puja, Saraswati Puja, Kali Puja and Bijoya Doshomi at the heart of Perth, Western Australia. Durga Puja is our biggest flagship event that attracts more than 3000 footfalls over three days.

Cultural Celebrations

Being from the land of Tagore, cultural celebrations with all shapes and forms of performing arts including dance, music, drama are at the core of our essence. We celebrate Rabindra Jayanti, as well as Annual Cultural Night as our one of the flagship events.

Sports and Social

We organise various sports and social events including Badminton tournament, Picnic, Run for a reason, blood donations etc. Our annual picnic is a much awaited event for the members to join with families and have fun.

Our humble contribution to wider community

At BAWA, while upholding our Bengali culture and legacy for more than three decades, we have also demonstrated our sense of responsibility to the wider community time and again – be it fundraising for bush fire victims, relief work during COVID19, blood donation, HBF Run for reason, or actively participating in wider community welfare initiatives.
