WHO WE ARE
AUSTRALIAN-GERMAN WELFARE SOCIETY of SYDNEY
The Australian German Welfare Society (AGWS) has been part of Australia’s multicultural landscape for more than 70 years. Founded on the values of compassion, community, and cultural connection, the Society serves as a welcoming meeting place for Australians with a German-speaking background, helping especially older members of the community to stay active, socially connected, and supported.
The AGWS is a self-funded, not-for-profit organisation that relies on the generosity of its members, friends, sponsors, and community fundraising activities. Thanks to a dedicated network of volunteers and an honorary committee, the AGWS continues to provide valuable services to the German-speaking community across New South Wales.
