Welcome to the Descendants of the Australian South Sea Islanders Association Inc (DASSI Inc) web page.  Our organisation has been in existence for over 25 years, first becoming incorporated in 1996.  We formed to support and advocate for our Australian South Sea Islander community in the areas of health, housing, education,  justice, cultural and historical preservation.

DASSI Inc is based on the Sunshine Coast and supports Australian South Sea Islanders across the southeast corner and beyond.  The DASSI Inc management committee meets once a month at Bli Bli, close to the sugar can farms, not far from the Maroochy River where our forefathers, cleared the land, lived and, grew/harvested sugar cane.
