Tamil Senior Citizens’ Benevolent Society (NSW) Inc.


An affiliate of the Association is the Tamil Senior Citizens’ Benevolent Society (NSW) Inc. which was registered in 1993, and has over 650 members. The objective of the Society is to enable members to be of mutual assistance in making financial provision towards their funeral expenses.

On the demise of any member, the rest of the members make a fixed contribution to meet the funeral expenses and thus ensure a decent departure of their fellow member. Since its inception, on the demise of 200 members, a total sum of $1,000,000 has been paid out of such contributions.

An Elected Board of Trustees manages the affairs of the Benevolent Society. Membership is open to members of the Tamil Senior Citizens’ Association, subject to certain qualifications.

Since its inception, a large number of our community have subscribed to our Society. All demised members have benefited from, with the payment towards their funeral expenses from member contributions. Currently the Society pays $4500 towards the funeral expense of its members. This is of great assistance to our members, many of whom are dependent on Age Pension or other payment from Centrelink.
