As the name denotes, Sister Cities Australia Inc. (SCA) is an association of cities, towns, shires, ports and even states that have a Sister City relationship. It keeps a register of all Australian affiliations, of which it is aware, and welcomes additions to the listing.
SCA also takes a role in matching cities and towns in Australia with cities and towns both from overseas and within Australia seeking a Sister City relationship. SCA is also the link between an Australian sister city or town and the many projects and ideas that have been experienced here and abroad. Many cities, municipalities and shires in Australia have at least one sister city relationship with a city or town overseas, or within Australia, with many having multiple affiliations
The objective of SCA is to provide an umbrella of support and to promote these affiliations. SCA also aims to provide a forum for cultural, economic and educational interchange between communities and to encourage friendship, co-operation and understanding to improve peaceful co-existence worldwide.
To update the Directory of Affiliations could all Councils please provide information on their current and active sister city/friendship city relationships by email to Mike Jakins Details will be made available to financial members on request to Mike Jakins.
