Established on 11 October 2003, the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) was founded with the noble aim of uniting and binding the Nepali Diaspora worldwide under one unified umbrella. Over the past 18 years, NRNA has evolved into a robust non-governmental global organization, fostering a network of Nepali origin across 86 countries through its National Coordination Councils (NCCs).

At the heart of our mission lies a deep-seated commitment to our roots, our identity, and our beloved homeland. No matter where life takes us or what nationalities we may hold, our connection to Nepal remains unwavering. We celebrate Nepal's triumphs and grieve its trials, holding steadfast to the belief that "Once a Nepali, you always remain a Nepali."

Our guiding principle, "For Nepali by Nepali," underscores our dedication to channeling our collective energy and resources towards the betterment of Nepali society. We firmly believe that it is the duty of every nation to promote, represent, and safeguard the welfare of its citizens, including those who reside beyond its borders or hold foreign nationalities.

Recognizing the invaluable contributions and potential of the Nepali Diaspora, the Government of Nepal has bestowed legal recognition upon NRNs through the Non-Resident Nepali Act 2064. For practical purposes, Nepali citizens residing outside SAARC member countries or People of Nepali Origin (PNO) holding foreign nationalities other than SAARC nations are considered NRNs.

NRNA Australia is committed to upholding the spirit of our motto, "For Nepali by Nepali," by serving as a bridge between Nepalis living in Australia and their homeland. Through collaboration, advocacy, and community engagement, we strive to empower and uplift our members while contributing to the prosperity and development of Nepal.

Join us in our journey to build a stronger, more connected Nepali community in Australia and beyond. Together, we can make a meaningful difference—for Nepal, for ourselves, and for future generations.

Thank you for visiting NRNA Australia—your gateway to Nepali unity, pride, and progress.
