Welcome to the Dawoodi Bohra community of Sydney

The Dawoodi Bohra of Sydney are one of the oldest and largest Bohra communities in Australia. More than 300 families call Syedney home, with many having settled here since  the early 1980s. The city’s alluring  landscape and friendly atmosphere has made it home to one of the most active and robust Dawoodi Bohra communities in the Southern Hemisphere.

Where we are

Located in the residential suburb of Auburn, the Dawoodi Bohra community of Sydney’s masjid complex  was among the very first built in Australia. Inaugurated by the late His Holiness Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin in 2000, it has been  a centre of organisation and support which enables community members to engage with each other on a regular basis.
Families live across Sydney’s suburbs, and some are based in the wider region, including the Central Coast, Newcastle, and Wollongong, keeping the community closely connected across New South Wales.

Our story

The Dawoodi Bohra presence in Sydney began when a handful of families migrated from East Africa in search of educational and professional opportunities. Over time, more families arrived, and today the community includes both recent arrivals and multigenerational Australians who were born and raised here.
Dawoodi Bohras have a strong reputation for education, enterprise, and professional excellence—a spirit reflected across our Sydney members, many of whom are business owners, academics, engineers, healthcare professionals, and public-sector contributors eager to contribute to social wellbeing and community development.

Engaging with the wider community

Guided by the principles of compassion and service, our members actively seek to contribute to Sydney society’s growth and prosperity. Regularly, our members organise food and clothing drives, fundraising initiatives, and support campaigns for local charities including the Cancer Council, OzHarvest, Foodbank, the Bill Crews Foundation, and the Salvation Army.
Environmental stewardship is an important part of our ethos. We follow a zero-waste approach wherever possible—using recyclable materials at events, reducing single-use waste, and organising community clean-ups. Our annual tree-planting drive brings together families of all ages to support the local council’s environmental efforts.

Our community also participates in interfaith programs across Sydney, helping foster meaningful dialogue and mutual respect. We take pride in supporting national events such as ANZAC Day memorial services, and engaging in national causes and events that support Australia’s society.
