Over the years, Benevolence has worked with a number of organisations supporting converts and facilitating conversion to Islam, both in Victoria and elsewhere. If you are based outside of Victoria and would like to learn more about Islam and conversion, we encourage you to contact Benevolence to meet online, or to check out these interstate organisations if you want to get in touch with someone local. We also reccomend you look into these organisations for convert meet-ups and Islamic events in your area.
New South Wales
Mizan Avenue – Auburn NSW
Mizan Avenue in Sydney, Australia, was established for the quest for balance many in the West aspire to reach. We endeavoured to create a holistic space that allows people from all walks of life the opportunity to learn more about Islam. We believe people without requisite knowledge shouldn’t feel isolated from learning centres, and we believe in creating inclusive spaces and not limiting access to knowledge. Our teachers are as diverse as our attendees and that’s something we’re proud of.
Mizan is a space where people can learn the basic tenets of sacred knowledge, while also aiming to stem the tide of confusion people have about modern-day dilemmas in an accessible and open environment.
Markaz – Sydney NSW
Markaz is a non-for-profit focusing on multicultural communities in Sydney to combat social isolation. Our aim is to bring communities from all walks of life together to establish connections and build networks in safe spaces that don’t centre on identity politics.

The Convert Collective works in collaboration with a range of Masjids, Muslim organisations, and other support networks to connect Converts to Islam with the support they need, whether this is access to Islamic programs, Shaykhs, community events or even just having a place for them to meet other converts.
