Background IFN
Established in 1989, the Interfaith Network (IFN), is the longest serving Network in Australia. IFN is a group of diverse religious and cultural faiths, serving and working locally within the City of Greater Dandenong.
The Network’s vision is a message of simplicity and impact, ‘Many Faiths, One People’.
Our core objective is to prevent harm by promoting respect and understanding for the integrity of each person’s beliefs, cultures and traditions so that people of all faiths, and none, can live together in peace and harmony.
The IFN’s commitment to creating a strong sense of belonging has led to an increasing respect for shared beliefs and values, resulting in deeper connections within diverse communities.
