Mandaean Australians

The Sydney metropolitan area in Australia has one of the largest Mandaean diaspora communities in the world.[1] The community is centered in Greater Western Sydney suburbs such as Fairfield, Liverpool,[2] and Penrith.[3] In Liverpool, the main mandi (Beth Manda) is the Ganzibra Dakhil Mandi.[4] The Sabian Mandaean Association of Australia has purchased land by the banks of the Nepean River at Wallacia, New South Wales in order to build a new mandi.[5] Another mandi in Greater Sydney is the Yahya Yuhana Mandi (or Mandi Yehya Youhanna), located in Prestons.[6]

The Sabian Mandaean Association in Australia is the largest Mandaean association in Australia.[7] Religious affairs are managed by the Mandaean Synod of Australia.[8]
