Mandaean Australians are Australians of Mandaean descent or Mandaeans who have Australian citizenship.

As of 2023, Australia has the largest Mandaean population in the world, followed by Sweden (which has the largest Mandaean population in Europe) and the United States.[1]

Sydney metropolitan area[edit]

The Sydney metropolitan area in Australia has one of the largest Mandaean diaspora communities in the world.[2] The community is centered in Greater Western Sydney suburbs such as Fairfield, Liverpool,[3] and Penrith.[4] In Liverpool, the main mandi (Beth Manda) is the Ganzibra Dakhil Mandi.[5] The Sabian Mandaean Association of Australia has purchased land by the banks of the Nepean RiveratWallacia, New South Wales in order to build a new mandi.[6] Another mandi in Greater Sydney is the Yahya Yuhana Mandi (or Mandi Yehya Youhanna), located in Prestons.[7]

Associations[edit]

The Sabian Mandaean Association in Australia is the largest Mandaean association in Australia.[8] Religious affairs are managed by the Mandaean Synod of Australia.[9]
