Buddhism in Australia: Wellbeing, Belonging and Social Engagement

Our pioneering project seeks to illuminate the rich history and contemporary lives of Buddhists in Australia. Through interviews, fieldwork, cultural heritage studies, and the first large-scale survey of Buddhism in Australia, we explore Buddhist religious practices, the social engagement of Buddhist communities, and their connections with Indigenous peoples.

The three-year project was completed in September 2026. We invite you to explore the findings and join us in uncovering and celebrating the rich and diverse tapestry of Buddhism in Australia.
