We are a community-based organisation established by Sri Lankans residing in Western Australia, with the primary aim of bringing the community together, paying tribute to our cultural roots and celebrating our unique cross-sectional multicultural identity. As a group, we keep in touch with each other by hosting several events throughout the year, and as a not-for-profit, we regularly donate proceeds to charities.

Transition from old to New
Introducing the new chapter of WASLA, with our new logo.
While the previous logo served us well for five decades, this transition symbolises the next era. A new look fast-forwards us to modern times and better reflects our diverse demographic.
We spent several hours discussing what the new logo should look like. With a focus on the spirit and mission of WASLA, we made prime use of the choices available to us. Finally, a logo that best represents what WASLA is about was produced.
Taking a cue from our previous logo, our new logo considers both our origins as Sri Lankans and our current identity as Western Australians. Sri Lanka is represented by the Lotus Flower of many hues representing our diverse ethnicities. The lotus nestles within the bosom of Western Australia, represented by the Black Swan.
We are proud of the new logo, and hope you love it too.
Become a member of WASLA today
The Association was established in 1971 to promote the general welfare and support of Sri Lankans residing in Western Australia. It also caters to non-Sri Lankans who are interested in Sri Lanka, by creating an exciting meeting ground to foster social interaction and closer ties with other West Australian communities. WASLA promotes an active interest in Sri Lanka by providing historical, cultural, religious and other non-political information. We host regular events for members and guests, and we contribute to meaningful causes.
If you are of Sri Lankan heritage or you are interested in Sri Lankan culture, we invite you to apply for membership today.
