New Zealand Australia Punjabi Cultural Association (NZAUSPCA) is a community organisation committed to contribute towards the progress of the Punjabi community residing in Australia and New Zealand.
NZAUSPCA has recently celebrated its 7th annual event 'Sanjh Punjab Dee', which was attended by more than 700 people.
NZAUPCA is also helping Victoria’s sickest babies thanks to a generous $17,000 donation for Royal Children Hospital, Melbourne.
The association has raised more than $65,000 so far to support Royal Children Hospital, Melbourne.
Raised during their annual dinner, the donations have previously helped sponsor cots in the RCH Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU).In early 2011, a small group of Punjabi families from New Zealand and Australia got together and formed New Zealand Australia Punjabi Cultural Association (NZAUSPCA).

What started out as an informal network drawn together by common interest and a shared love of culture, has grown to a vibrant association committed to sharing and celebrating our cultural heritage through cultural exchange and active community participation.
A commitment to promoting multiculturalism and fostering a strong sense of community among Punjabi families living in New Zealand and Australia are the main goals of NZAUSPCA, which are also embodied in its philosophy.
