Free & inclusive programs open to all Victorians — uniting communities through culture, wellbeing and celebration.
Hindu Community Foundation Australia Inc. is a Victorian volunteer-led multicultural community organisation. Our work is inspired by cultural values — service, respect, compassion, generosity and harmony — open to every Victorian.
Although HCFA was formally registered on 1 July 2020, our community journey began in 2016 through Melbourne Ganesh Utsav. What started as a community festival has grown into a broader platform for multicultural participation, youth engagement, seniors wellbeing and community connection.
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — the world is one family. This belief guides everything we do.
From multicultural festivals to seniors wellbeing, youth leadership and yoga — all programs are free and open to every background.
Large-scale celebrations featuring live performances, music, dance, food stalls and cultural arts — bringing thousands of Victorians together in joyful, shared celebration.

Free, welcoming events that reduce isolation and build genuine bonds across cultures and generations.
Platforms for young people to lead, perform, volunteer and develop confidence and cultural identity.
