The Australia-Japan Society of Victoria (AJSV) was established in 1963 as an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to strengthening business, government, educational and cultural links between Victoria and Japan. The AJSV and its members share a genuine belief in the importance of the relationship between Australia and Japan and the rewards and benefits it has to offer. The AJSV’s Programs and Events are managed by a community of dedicated volunteers drawn from its membership of large and small business corporations, educational and cultural organisations, families and individuals. Support for the work of the AJSV is derived from membership fees, contributions and grants, as well as certain AJSV fund-raising functions and activities.
