Welcome to the Serbian Australian Centre.
Serbian Australian Centre (SA Centre) Willawong is a general recreational, social and cultural centre that promotes Serbian culture and heritage through cultural festivals, multicultural events, holiday celebrations and educational programs for kids and adults.
The Centre was established in 1979 and is a non-for-profit organisation run by young, vibrant and passionate Serbian volunteers focused on building meaningful connections with local Serbian and Australian community through organising and hosting a range of engaging initiatives. The Centre has evolved from a small community hall to a state of the art venue for weddings and celebrations of all kinds.
