Providing Islamic religious facilities at one of Australia's most iconic Mosques.

The Auburn Gallipoli Mosque, located in Auburn, Sydney, is one of the city's most iconic religious landmarks, primarily serving the Turkish Australian community. Established on its current site in 1979, the mosque's construction spanned over two decades, with the final structure completed in 1999. The mosque's architecture is heavily influenced by classical Ottoman design, featuring a central white dome and towering minarets. It was built using Turkish materials and designs, which is evident in the intricate stained glass, imported carpets, and marble used throughout the building. The mosque stands as a symbol of the Turkish-Australian community's contributions and the shared legacy of the Gallipoli Campaign during World War

Beyond its role as a place of worship, the Auburn Gallipoli Mosque is a cultural hub for Sydney’s Muslim population, hosting more than 1,000 attendees during Friday prayers. It welcomes visitors for tours on all days except Fridays, providing insight into its religious and architectural significance. Visitors are required to follow a modest dress code, and the tours offer a unique opportunity to explore this religious and cultural treasure. The mosque is not only an architectural wonder but also a focal point for community activities, education, and intercultural understanding​

“To set a high standard for aged care, where elders of culturally diverse and Muslim backgrounds feel right at home”.

The center accommodates up to 102 residents, offering personalized care with a focus on respect for religious and cultural practices. Its location near the Auburn-Gallipoli Mosque fosters a community-integrated approach, allowing residents to maintain their religious routines, such as prayer, with halal meals and culturally aware care practices. The facility’s design is inspired by Ottoman architecture, featuring modern amenities like private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and traditional elements like a central courtyard and fountain.

Gallipoli Home emphasizes the importance of dignity and respect in aged care, believing that old age should be celebrated rather than simply managed for medical needs. The center offers personalized care through its "Permanent Rahma Partners" initiative, ensuring each resident is cared for by the same small group of caregivers daily. This consistency helps build trust and provides residents with comfort in their daily lives. In addition, the facility seeks to bridge the gap between families and professional care by working closely with relatives to ensure regular visits and emotional support
