About ABPI
The Association of Bhutanese in Perth, Inc. (ABPI) was established to support the growing Bhutanese community in Perth, Australia. Perth has become a key destination for Bhutanese individuals seeking higher education and job opportunities, attracting hundreds of new students and professionals every year.
ABPI’s primary mission is to foster a sense of belonging among Bhutanese in Perth, ensuring that they feel welcomed, included, and supported.

Through these efforts, ABPI aims to build a strong, happy Bhutanese community that harmonises with other cultures.
