Our society is driven by three core aims shaping our activities and initiatives.

Firstly, we strive to represent, celebrate, and share the beauty and diversity of the Tamil language, literature, and culture with the broader student community and various societies at UQ through a range of engaging cultural events and language programs.

Secondly, we are committed to providing a warm and welcoming space for Tamil students at UQ, hailing from India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and around the world. We believe in the power of connection and seek to create an environment where students can forge meaningful friendships, share experiences, and feel a sense of belonging.

Lastly, we recognize the importance of supporting our society members beyond their university experience by offering valuable career guidance, mentorship, and networking opportunities to empower them as they navigate their professional journeys.
