AAS, the Australian Alumni of Singapore, is a non-profit organisation aimed at promoting friendship and goodwill among the various graduates and members from different Australian tertiary and professional institutions


In 1955, a small group of returned graduates from Australia, with the esprit de corps to establish a forum to interact and forge a close link between Singapore and Australia, founded the Australian Alumni Singapore under the leadership of the founder President, Mr. Michael Fam Yu Onn. Since it's inception, the Australian Alumni Singapore has grown into a well-established graduate organisation.
 
Through the years, thousands of students have gone to Australia to receive higher education and returned to join the ranks of successful professionals instrumental to the present development of the Republic into a modern and sophisticated centre of communication and commerce. Many of the returned graduates who, at one time or another, were actively associated with the Alumni are today Government Ministers, community leaders, and prominent figures playing vital roles in Government, Public Service and Private Sectors, responsible for the continued progress of our young nation.
 
The Australian Alumni Singapore, through the uniting efforts of it founders and successive office-bearers, and the enthusiasm and support of the Australian High Commission, has not only forged a close link to promote goodwill and understanding each other's social, economic and cultural values but also formed an important part of the fabric of relationships between the peoples and professionals of the two countries.
 
 
We are in the progress of consolidating all Australian Alumnis under the umbrella representative constitution of AAS. With a potential membership of 100,000 (and growing each year), we represent a sizeable and educated group of Australian trained professionals. Upon consolidation, based on our size and profile, we will be able to negotiate for priviledges and discounts from other organisations and retailers.

 
  • To provide facilities for returned students from Australia to meet together;
  • To further the legitimate and collective interests of its members;
  • To provide goodwill between Singapore and Australia;
  • To express considered and informed opinion on current affairs;
  • To liaise with other graduate organisations;
  • To promote integration, friendship and goodwill among the various graduates and members from different Australian tertiary and professional institutions.
