History.
The Jain community established itself in Australia through immigration. A Jain society has been formed in Sydney.
Exodus of Asians from Uganda in 1972 due to Idi Amin's policies, forced some Jains to migrate elsewhere, like Australia.
Jain Centres.
Jain centres and/or societies have been established in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, and Melbourne.

Another Jain association in Sydney is known as Vitraag Jain Shwetambar Sangh There is also a community-driven centre — AAJ (meaning 'Today' in Hindi) that serves Jain community in Australia.
