The Australian Association (Norway) was formed in December 2007 and registered with registration number 892 048 002 at Brønnøysundregistrene as a non-profit private Organisation. We are proud to have as our Patron the Australian Ambassador, H.E. Sharyn Minahan. AAN has well over 100 members and is affiliated with ABIE (Australian Business In Europe) and the Australian Honorary Consulate in Oslo.

The purposes of AAN are to:

• Provide a focal point for Australians in Norway • Organise regular social events of interest to the Australian community • Foster cultural relationships, goodwill and friendship between Australia and Norway • Organise events on national days - Australia Day and ANZAC Day • Provide a channel to collectively negotiate on behalf of the Australian community.

Membership is open to all nationalities. AAN is for Australians, their families, friends, people who have studied in Australia or others with strong ties to Australia.

The major events each year will be Australia Day and ANZAC Day. We aim to have at least one event per month.
