Our Mission Statement

Bakhtar Community Organisation is a charitable, non-profit and first Afghan Australian secular organisation based in Victoria with a small team of staff supported by over fifty dedicated volunteers. We provide support, material aid and socially inclusive activities to a diverse range of community members many of whom are disadvantaged, isolated or marginalised due to family dysfunction, family violence, infirmity, disability, homelessness, mental illness or the long-term effects of drug or alcohol use.
Our main goal is to bridge the gap between the community and the government services, provide a point of connection aimed at reducing isolation, promote inclusion, integration and foster mutually beneficial relationships amongst those who attend and offer pathways to involvement with the wider community.
Bakhtar Community Organisation is also endorsed as Deductible Gift Recipients by the Australian Taxation Office
