The Past Year
Whilst activity slowed down in the past year due to the virus, we still managed to meet between lockdowns, particularly in the first half of the year.
Here is a recap of the activities.

During the year we had 2 chamber meetings in March & July. Guest speakers at each meeting included:
Chirelle Ellul Sciberras
Sasho Dimcevski

Other
The High Commissioner of Malta for Australia, His Excellency Mario Farrugia Borg, travelled to Victoria, between 16 and 21 December 2021, to meet with Australian Government officials, the Maltese associations, the Maltese communities, and other private organisations. The objective of this visit was to keep the Maltese communities and organisations connected to the Maltese Islands.
