Q: Isn't there already a **********xxxx********* Club?
A: Hi there are many clubs in Australia and we are just one of them.

However, our club is probably different we are completely self funded, non political and independent.

We are just manned by volunteers who typically have a hard time during the initial move to Australia, eventually received help from kind Singaporeans who went out of their way to help us.

Our club's main purpose is to help new migrants overcome their difficulties and settle down in Australia.
