The Organ Society
of Western Australia (Inc.) ABN 49 302 148 987

The Organ Society of Western Australia (Inc.) (OSWA) was formed on 24th August 1966 to promote organs and their music, and for the sharing of knowledge and experiences gained in connection with organs. The inaugural OSWA meeting was held at the home of Mr Dudley Bastian, 3 Baker Avenue, Perth.

Western Australia has a magnificent heritage of pipe organs from historic to modern, and OSWA provides advice to assist in the retention of this heritage.

Even though the emphasis of this Society is on pipe organs, due to the increasing presence of electronics in church organs, electronic and part-electronic (hybrid) organs are also considered to be of interest.

OSWA is incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act and is the holder of ABN 49 302 148 987 on the Australian Business Register.
