VOSA – Voice of Slovenian Australians Sydney

30. januar 2026 – NSW & ACT

Three outstanding Slovenians have been recognised in the Australia Day Honours List, a prestigious acknowledgment for their achievements and service in Australia. Their recognition highlights the positive impact of their service to the Slovenian community over many decades. Through their dedication and commitment, they have made an important contribution to preserving, promoting and sustaining Slovenian culture here in Australia.


The Late Mrs Martha Magajna
 – For service to the Slovenian community of Sydney.

Mrs Michelle Susteršič- For service to the Slovenian community of Sydney. 

Mr Walter Šuber- For service to the Slovenian community, and to the steel manufacturing industry.


Pater Darko has, over the last few years, highlighted the need for restoration of the Kapelica. He has expressed his wish for a Memorial Stone to include the names of the dedicated priests and nuns who served at St Raphael’s.  

A working group will be formed to raise funds and manage this project, with a completion date for All Souls Day this year.  

For those who are interested in being a part of the working group, please contact Mark Stariha on 0404 464 727, or via the NEW email ConsulateSlovenia.Sydney@gmail.com

The first meeting will be next month, so contact Mark now if you are keen to join.
