Australian and Singaporean women's organisations have a long history of exchanges. In 1963, Ms Oh Ewe Im, program secretary of the Singapore YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association), undertook a six-month tour of Australia and New Zealand to study the YWCA's work in both countries. Here, Ms Oh joins two women at the National Headquarters of the Australian YWCA in Melbourne to inspect gifts prepared for a children's Christmas party. #Heritage60 is a year-long series celebrating 60 years of Singapore-Australia bilateral ties in 2025 by looking back at our shared history of friendship, cooperation, and cultural exchanges.

Did you know the longest serving Prime Ministers of Australia and Singapore have met each other? Here, Singapore PM Lee Kuan Yew meets with Australian PM Sir Robert Menzies at Parliament House in Canberra in 1965. Upon Singapore's independence, Sir Robert quickly recognised the new country and pledged to continue close and friendly relations. The two PMs laid a foundation for the strong bilateral relationship that Australia and Singapore continue to enjoy today. #Heritage60 is a yearlong series celebrating 60 years of Singapore-Australia bilateral ties in 2025 by looking back at our shared history of friendship, cooperation, and cultural exchanges.
