Find Polonia launches as Australia's first national Polish-Australian directory

A bilingual platform connecting 209,000+ Australians of Polish descent — events, organisations, businesses and news, in one place.

Sydney, 22 April 2026 — Find Polonia, Australia's first national directory for the Polish-Australian community, launched today with full coverage across every state and territory.

Built and maintained by Polish Australian Youth Gathering (PAYG), a registered not-for-profit, the bilingual platform brings together community events, organisations, businesses, news and resources that were previously scattered across more than forty separate websites and Facebook pages.

"Polish Australia has been hiding in plain sight. Anyone searching online for a Polish school, a community event, or a Polish-speaking lawyer would have to dig through dozens of sources. Find Polonia is the first place that brings all of it together — in English first, with Polish alongside."

— Find Polonia spokesperson

The platform is free to use, free to list, and works on any device without an app download. Anyone can submit a listing through the site; submissions are reviewed by PAYG volunteers within 48 hours.

Find Polonia is supported by Polish-Australian community organisations across Australia, with active partnerships with the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland.
