IMA Education

The Islamic Museum of Australia (IMA) was developed in part to support core curriculum teaching. Our programs are developed to support schools with curriculum aligned materials to create meaningful learning opportunities for all who engage with us. The resources on this site have been developed in alignment with the current National, Victorian and NSW Curriculum frameworks. The intention is that they are used to support teachers and students in classrooms around Australia in building greater intercultural awareness and capability. For this reason, the majority of resources are free of charge. Our catalogue of resources are constantly growing, so if you are looking for something in particular please reach out.

Australian Muslim History

Muslim fishermen from Makassar, in southern Sulawesi, Indonesia, began making their annual visits to Australia in the early 1700s. This is perhaps the first known Australian Muslim connection.

In the 19th century, men from India, Pakistan and Afghanistan were imported to Australia and became known collectively as ‘Afghans’ or ‘Ghans’. These expert camel handlers were essential to the development of the nation.

During the 20th century, the Australian economy needed migrant workers. Consequently, people from Turkey, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lebanon and many other Asian Middle Eastern and African countries migrated to Australia.

This gallery showcases the rich history and valuable contributions of Muslims in Australia.
