Draft 3 of the National Australian South Sea Islanders Association Constitution will be presented to the NSW and QLD delegates of registered bodies for adoption in Tweed Heads on the 15th August 2015. It is affirmed that this document has been consulted to the best of our ability over the past two years taking into account the platforms of formation and consultation since 2011 – 2015 (5yrs).

(extract of preamble) The company represents the interests of the Australian South Sea Islander (ASSI) people, one of the many contributing cultures of non-European origin in Australia. Our origins lie in the historical and ongoing struggle for equality and recognition for ASSI people in contemporary Australia. We support and promote ASSI culture, identity, economic and social well-being and education.
