The Japan Club of Sydney (JSC), established in 1983, is the only organization which consists mainly of Japanese permanent residents in New South Wales (NSW). The JCS is a non-profit incorporation as an ethnic group under the NSW law and its basic policy on religion and politics is neutral. Under the management of volunteers the JCS has been acting to foster the friendship between Japanese families, introduce and maintain Japanese cultures and improve the mutual understanding with other ethnic groups in addition to hosting regular friendship activities, conducting public relations and supporting education for children and students.

The JCS currently has about 400 families as its membership roll. Their time in Australia varies greatly from half a century to a couple months. They also include family migrants and people in international marriages.
