Brisbane (Queensland), AUSTRALIA :
Crescent AusIndia Inc held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Sunday 10 November 2024 in Brisbane, together with a family BBQ sausage sizzle bringing together an impressive turnout with members gathering to celebrate the association’s achievements and reaffirming their shared commitment to its mission.
AGM 2024
The association dedicated to Muslims of Indian origin in Queensland was founded in 2023 by a group of passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds – university professors, doctors, engineers, and professionals from various fields united by a shared dedication to fostering the Indo-Australian spirit.
The association has rapidly expanded its influence and membership base becoming a prominent and respected entity within the Queensland community groups. The current Management Committee was re-elected for 2025 ensuring continuity and renewed vision for the association’s goals in the new year.
Under the advice and guidance of Dr Javaid Khan and Dr Abdul Sattar, the elected office bearers include Mr Yousuf AliKhan (President), Aunty Janeth Deen OAM (Vice President), Mr Aamer Mustafa (Secretary), Mr Mohammed Ameen Soofi (Treasurer), Mr Athiq Mohamed (Joint Treasurer), Mr Arif Mohamed (Joint Secretary), along with committee members Mrs Naghma Khan, Mr Siraj Basha, Mr Irfan Hashim and Mr Faraz Junaidi.
Mr Vaseem Khan holds the key role of Public Relations Officer (PRO) maintaining the association’s public presence.
The journey over the past year has been marked by key events and accomplishments that reflect their commitment to community engagement and support throughout the year participating in significant events such as joining ANZAC Day commemorations, hosted Eid Dinner welcomed over 150 attendees, and engaging with Queensland Police’s Muslim Reference Group, involvement in the India Day Fair.
The association has also been vocal against discrimination, supporting community forums like “Action Against Islamophobia”. These activities allowed the association to build meaningful relationships with local authorities, diplomatic representatives, and other cultural organisations.
Crescent AusIndia celebrated Gandhi Jayanti with GOPIO honouring Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy of peace and unity, representation at the FICQs Diwali event and most recently were represented at the inaugural events for Queensland’s new Indian Consulate, furthering its presence as a key organisation within Queensland’s multicultural landscape.
Crescent AusIndia is a proud member of larger bodies like the Federation of Indian Communities Queensland (FICQ) and Queensland Muslims Inc (QMI), contributing to broader community initiatives.
Moving forward, Crescent AusIndia aims to deepen their engagement, broaden their reach, and continue building a strong foundation for the Indian Muslim community in Queensland.
