Kairali BrisBane
A small group of professional people migrated from India particularly from the south- western coastal state of Kerala and settled in Brisbane south side have startedto get together in the year 2005 to greet and share their interests and concerns.
This interaction continued further and the concept and inspiration toform an association came up in the year 2008 for the wellbeing of the members. As a result of this, an association by the name “KAIRALIBRISBANE” was registered in the year 2009.
Further down through the recent years, the members of the association grew in strength by addition of new members who came through skilled and professional migration slots schemed by Australian Immigration policies to strengthen its industrial and socio- economic growth. Most of our members, highly educated, professionally qualified peoples with useful skills and competence contribute to different category and paths of active life in diverse fields which add real value to the society, encouraging to cultural diversity and very much secular in nature. Our young and adult population counting more than 2500 people capable to impact the community engage in business and partner for a positive social-economic growth of the region.
Kairali Brisbane is also coordinate/liaise with Federation of IndianAssociationof Queensland (FICQ) to sustain harmony and mutual support for cultural and social activities with other Indian communities. Most of the members of this association have accepted Australian citizenship and very much interested in participation and strive to support development programmes. Influence of this community is felt by the business community around the area and their support for hosting many of our events and activities are all the more encouraging and mutually beneficial.

Our commitment and objectives to engage for welfare of the community extend many interface through our programmes to other communities around for better interaction. We appreciate very much the recognition and support from Councillors, State Ministers and other officials by their presence, greetings and well wishes at times received for our programmes and events.
Seasonal Programmes
Onam celebration, Christmas-Easter celebrations, all Australian tug of war (a type of sport where two teams compete to pull the rope) and other kind of sports and games competitions attract a crowd of more than 1000 people every year. Apart from the seasonal major events every year, we have the following recurring Programmes for the wellbeing of the community and society at large which ultimately aimed to contribute to a healthy nation building
Recurring programmes
Our Youth empowerment programme (YEP)which we have already brought forward this year is kick started and going forward with the objective of bringing up our youth to engage better and effectively with their respective families and community. This programme include personal development sessions, knowledge based sessions where scholars/experts from different fields share their knowledge to give insight to inspire youth, providing platforms for showcasing talents, Sessions with health checks surveys and group activities for building inner strength, sessions to recognise and celebrate achievements etc.,.Under this programme we are also looking forward to run community development programmes and this could be liaised with local council’s community development programmes as far as it can align homogeneously based on opportunity and common benefit.
From this year we have planned a Multicultural day to reach out and interact with other communities with the vision of cultural integration to facilitate a collaborative local society rather than remaining in respective community pockets with its own dynamics and inert behaviours. Through this initiative we do aim to see that our future generation will have all the ease required to relate and interact harmoniously with other communities around for a better future (to feel at home) in an integrated nation building environment.

“Kairali Cheer n’ Fitness” Programme
We do have an ambitious plan to bring up an invigorative programme called “Kairali Cheer n’ Fitness” for relaxation and wellbeing of all our community member categories with sports and games items which could include meditation, yoga and other rejuvenating methods such as Ayurveda Massages etc.,. We ought to overcome certain resource constraints such as venue and facilities in order to make this plan a reality as a successful project. Despite all the hurdles and resource constraints we arequite optimistic to find required support from local government schemes.
