Tere!
Welcome!

Join us to experience Estonian culture, language and traditions right here in Melbourne — think friendships, fun events, meaningful connections and memories to last a lifetime.

Who we are

The Melbourne Estonian Society was first established in 1914. It adopted the name Melbourne’i Eesti Ühing Kodu (“Home”) in 1938, which it still carries today.

The Melbourne Estonian Society is a welcoming community for anyone interested in Estonian culture and language. Based at the Estonian House, we’re all about bringing people together — whether you’re looking to learn about traditions, practice the language, or just meet friendly faces who share your interests.

We’re here to keep Estonian heritage alive and create a sense of belonging for everyone, from lifelong Estonians to those just curious about the culture. With events, updates, and plenty of opportunities to connect, the Melbourne Estonian Society is a place to celebrate, learn, and make friends along the way.

What we do

Discover some of the things we do to support our community and promote all things Estonian.

Events

We host many events that are open to everyone – whether you’re a member or not. Among our most popular gatherings are the Christmas parties, Independence Day, and Mother’s Day celebrations. In 2024, we also introduced a language camp for children and families in Anglesea, which was a great success and has now become a tradition we’re proud to continue this year.

Activity groups

Join our activity groups for children and adults where we play, sing and dance, practice and learn Estonian. Interested in singing – join our women’s choir Kodu Kaja. Love to dance – join the adults’ folk dance group Eiderattad. We also have a playgroup and a folk dance group for kids.
