Australian Jewish Association

The Australian Jewish Association (AJA) is an Australian Jewish community organisation. Guided by Torah principles and aligned with right-wing, conservative values, the organisation represents its members and has a prominent voice in social and news media outlets.

As a private Jewish advocacy group, AJA's leadership is self-appointed with a number of undisclosed paid members.

The founding president of AJA is David Adler, former deputy medical secretary of the Australian Medical Association, who remains president as of June 2025. Robert Gregory, a graduate in law, serves as chief executive officer. He was previously AJA's public affairs director for two years.

Founded in 2017, the Australian Jewish Association (AJA) has gained prominence through strategic social media engagement and presence in mainstream media outlets such as The Australian, Sky News Australia, Australian Financial Review, Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, and The Jerusalem Post, as well as outlets aimed at the Jewish community such as The Australian Jewish News.

AJA makes submissions to the Australian Government on public policy matters affecting Jewish Australians.

AJA is guided by Torah principles and aligned with right-wing, conservative values. Its mission statement states that it aims to be a membership-based representative organisation for Jewish Australians based on genuine authentic Jewish and conservative Australian democratic values. The organisation asserts that their public policy outlook is rooted in traditional Halachic principles and states that they are welcoming of members of all levels of observance who have an emphasis on support for Israel.

AJA's objectives are to work within the laws and regulations of Australia's liberal democracy and provide advocacy and representation for its members to the government, media and established institutions. AJA states that it is not affiliated with any political party but engages with all politicians to promote Jewish life in Australia. In addition, AJA supports Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people and engages the Australian Government and relevant parliamentarians for the benefit of the Jewish community supporting initiatives between Australia and Israel.

The Australian Jewish Association Tzedakah (AJAT) is AJA's registered charity arm. AJAT is listed in the category under "Harm Prevention" with a primary role in combating antisemitism. AJAT subscribes to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and conducts activities to implement its adoption in Australian jurisdictions and institutions.
