Filipinos in Australia: Translate Tagalog to English

It is very common to find Filipinos residing in other countries – partly because of Overseas Filipino Workers, or OFWs. In fact, the Philippines has one of the largest migrant populations in the world. You can be sure that there’s a Filipino community anywhere in the world!

Planning to migrate to Australia? If you need to translate Tagalog to English for personal purposes – visa applications or passport renewal, Sylaba Translations can assist with your translation needs.

Be Part of the “Filoz” Community

Navigating a new life in another country can be a real challenge. Aside from the language barrier, it can also be overwhelming to see how different the lifestyle and culture is. For Filipinos in Australia, this is no longer a problem.

In multicultural Australia, the Filipino community ranks among the fastest growing migrant groups. They happily refer to themselves as “Filoz”, a combination of “Filipino” and “Aussie”. As one of the largest communities in Australia, there are a lot of Filipino organizations established to assist new migrants and to promote Filipino culture. If you’re not too confident with speaking English, don’t worry most Filoz still speak Tagalog or Filipino at home.

Getting support from your fellow Filipinos is as easy as joining one of these groups:

Filipino Communities Council of Australia (FILCCA)

Established in 1990, FILCCA is the oldest known umbrella organization outside the Philippines. Their main objective is to advocate for the needs and rights of all Filipinos, including Filipino-Australians, in Australia.

ACT Filipino Australian Social and Cultural Association (ACTFA-SCA)

As a not-for-profit community organisation, ACTFA-SCA has been promoting the Filipino – Australian culture since 1993. They spread the “Bayanihan” culture through charitable work and cultural performances.

Gawad Kalinga Australia (GKA)

Just like Gawad Kalinga Philippines, GKA’s mission is focused on alleviating Philippine poverty and nation-building.

Philippine Studies Group (PSG)

If you’re a Filipino-Australian resident, University Student, and Filipino professional residing in Canberra, PSG is the organization for you. They hold monthly seminars at the Australian National University (ANU) to discuss different topics like Philippine culture, politics, etc.

Association of Golden Australian Pilipinos Inc. (AGAPI)

AGAPI is the organization for the older generation of Filipino-Australians (seniors) in Greater Western Sydney Area. While promoting camaraderie in the community, they also aim to preserve the beauty of Filipino customs and values.
