What is AJANT?
Australian Japanese Association of the Northern Territory Incorporated (AJANT) is a not-for-profit organisation, and was formed in 1989. Our primary goal is to foster greater understanding and friendship between Australian and Japanese people.
What do we do?
- Hold events and social “get-togethers” to promote Japanese culture and friendship. AJANT is very proud of events we have held in the past such as Children’s Day, Japanese Film Festival and Bunko No Hi.
- Give support to each other and provide help to other members in times of difficulty and hardship.
- Act as a point of contact for new arrivals to the Northern Territory by providing support and friendship to lessen the impact of loneliness and hardship of settling into a new environment.
- Help and be a source of support and information for Japanese tourists visiting the Northern Territory.
- Act as an official point of contact between the Japanese Embassy, the Consulate of Japan for the Northern Territory community.
