The sixth chapter of ATC was inaugurated in Canberra, ACT on Sunday 9 May 2010.

ATC was launched in NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA in August 2009.

The launch was successful and several ATC residents joined to strengthen ATC.

The highlight of the event was that the youth in Canberra initiated and organised this launch of ATC.

Community leader, Dr Ragavan attended as a well wisher, wished the youth the very best in their mission and spoke of the importance of youth taking the forefront.

ATC Chairman Prof Raj Rajeswaran was regretably unable to attend but sent the following message:

Chairman’s message

Ladies and Gentlemen,

My warmest welcome to you all for attending this important meeting to help form the 6th Chapter of the Australian Tamil Congress in Australia's capital city.

Due to other commitments, I am unable to share this momentous occasion with you all in person, and I am sincerely sorry for that.
