Hindu Council has been involved with the NSW Department of School Education since 2003 in drafting the original syllabus which was introduced in 2005. Cambridge University Press published the textbook for the course covering all the five religions. In 2015 we were again consulted by the publishers when the updated version of the textbook was published.

Great organization, working towards reviving the Knowledge of Hinduism (World's oldest religion and who never invaded others) to bring harmony in the world. Having actually seen them operating a free kitchen and organising community events to make new migrants feel at home while appreciating Australian way of life. Great community work being delivered by people who don’t get paid do it

HCA has always been a wonderful platform and a great source of network for Indian migrants. I have always had a very good experience since I moved to Australia 25 years ago. There are a variety of activities continuously conducted by this organisation year after year in various areas like charities, food donations, age care, and predominately to pass on Hindu values to the future generations.

Kudos for the great work done so far to promote hindu culture customs and festivals in Australia and help the hindus from all around the world living in Australia to keep their traditions alive. Hope hindu council of Australia continues their great work in being one single voice for people with hindu faiths and feel proud Australians.

Great community service done by organisation and its volunteers and management selflessly. Awesome holy place truly working on true Hinduism which is take everyone together and have prosperity of all and live in peace. Great job!

HCA has played pivotal role in developing an united Hindu community in Australia. It is at the forefront when it comes to helping wider community regardless of the social, economic and religious backgrounds via advise, networking, supporting, raising funds, etc.. I love the cultural events organised by HCA especially the Diwali Mela, Holi function and International Yoga Day. I wish all the best and urge to the community to join HCA and help strengthening Hindu community in Australia.

Hindu Council of Australia is an organisation selflessly working for Hindus in Australia and spreading the message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - Whole World is a family. We need more people and organisations like these to truly spread the message of all Human beings living together as a family.
