(FIAV)was formed in 1989 by a group of resident Indian
migrants of long standing and repute that were keen to bring all the various
regional, cultural and lingual Indian groups together under the one umbrella
organisation. Since then the FIAV has grown to comprise over 20 active Indian
associations in Melbourne.
