Barangay Australia
Barangay Australia is a network of Filipino (Pinoy) students as well as alumni and friends across the State of Victoria. It animates the community spirit of bayanihan (heroic duties) and pakikipagkapwa (fellowship) commonly found in the barangay (village) combined with learning and fun. While “Barangay Australia” was only coined in 2005 in conjunction with its first general assembly, it traces its beginnings with scholars from the Philippines who would exchange tips about life in Australia and offer their support. Today, Barangay Australia aspires be a cultural bridge between local Filipino students and their international counterparts, providing a unifying force across the state of Victoria. It operates through volunteer members acting as university-based coordinators and project coordinators at the network level.

Community and Family Services International (CFSI)
During the past year our links with Community and Family Services International have been further strengthened by the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement with the La Trobe School of Social Work and Social Policy for a further five years. As a consequence of this the Myer Foundation has provided a grant to enable La Trobe Social Work Students to continue to complete their practical work at CFSI in Manila. Currently three students are working in the agency for a period of 14 weeks. In addition to the above Cliff Picton, the University Ombudsman, has been appointed a Trustee and member of the Board of Management of CFSI.
