We come together a few times each year to celebrate major events, form new friendships and renew old ones
IG: sg_wa_network SWAN, the Singapore-Western Australia Network, offers an inter-generational link
between Singaporeans and Australians of different ages and a showcase for the
Singapore and Asia Pacific communityβs contribution to Australia. SWAN's most
distinctive characteristics is its c
ommitment to non-business activities in culture
and the arts, and its determination to network with non-Singaporeans in Australia. Through our activities we hope to meet Singaporeans and ex-Singaporeans
anywhere in Australia. Hence, SWAN is not just for current Singaporeans, we are
for friends of Singapore, Australians or others who have married a Singaporean
or ex-Singaporean, long-term migrants here and Australian-born youngsters with
a Singapore heritage, as well as transients on business contracts or studying at
the universities, present or future citizens or permanent residents of Singapore. One of the main motivations for setting up SWAN is the desire to demonstrate to
Australians that the Singapore community is more than just trade and commerce. Through the arts, culinary skills, intellectual and sporting excellence, we represent
the full multicultural tapestry and complex society of Singapore. SWAN organises
plays, movies and concerts, debates and lectures, exhibitions and fairs and fun
social gatherings. Our Vision:
To create a community of Singapore-linked people in Australia to connect and
cooperate with each other and the broader community, for mutual benefit. To showcase the achievements and contributions of Singapore-related people
and Asia Pacific in the fields of the arts, culture, education and sports and to act
as an information exchange and clearing house so as to network effectively and
constructively with the wider Australian community. If you would like to find out more, do drop us a line with the feedback form or you may email us directly at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you.
