Tji Srikandi-Goodhart Awarded for the MCSA Quiet Achievers 2022
The Multicultural Communities Council of South Australia (MCCSA) has awarded some groups of women for their tireless efforts in the community. AS part of International Women’s Day, this award shines a light on some of the quiet achievers who have contributed to their community. For the 2022 awards, nine women have proudly become a recipient of this award, one of them is Tji Srikandi-Goodhart, from the Indonesian Community.
Tji has been an active member of the Australian-Indonesian Association of SA inc. (AIASA) since its inception in 1968, the aim of which is to promote better understanding and goodwill between the Indonesian and Australian people, based on friendship, respect and trust. As President of the AIASA from 2014-to 2016, Tji coordinated the annual Indofest-Adelaide, a major festival involving more than 20 Indonesian community groups.
The AIASA also provides a platform to nurture cohesion among the ethnically, culturally and religiously diverse Indonesian communities in South Australia and aspires to represent them at an inter-governmental soft-diplomacy level.
Throughout her student and early working life, Tji shared her love, skills, and knowledge of the land of her birth with fellow Australians through Indonesian performing arts as a traditional dancer, choreographer, gamelan player and presenter at many events. She also taught Indonesian dancing over the years, including to schoolteachers of Indonesian language and culture, who in turn could teach their students.
Indofest-Adelaide 2019: Together in harmony
MEDIA RELEASE – Indofest, Sunday 28 April 2019
Thousands will descend upon Victoria Square on Sunday 28 April in a display of vibrant colour and culture as the annual award-winning Indofest-Adelaide festival comes alive with dynamic sights, sounds and enticing flavours which will bring Indonesia to the heart of the City of Adelaide in Victoria Square/Tarntanyagga.
Celebrating its 11th year in Adelaide, Indofest-Adelaide is the largest Indonesian festival in the Southern hemisphere.
A free, family-friendly and sustainable event, presenting a diverse and exciting program of traditional and contemporary Indonesian music and dance, children’s dance and craft workshops, cooking demonstrations, a marketplace and exhibitions representing the regional diversity of the Indonesian archipelago.
Indofest-Adelaide is a collaborative effort that represents all of South Australia’s Indonesian community groups, and is presented by the not-for-profit Australian-Indonesian Association of South Australia (AIASA).
Indofest-Adelaide’s Program Team, Juliana Christina, Berry J Luqman and Amalia Sosrodiredjo, describe the annual Indofest-Adelaide as “an opportunity to showcase the richness of culture that is representative not only of Indonesia as one of the most cultural diverse countries in the world, but also the diversity and depth of talent of our own Indonesian community here in Adelaide.
With Indofest-Adelaide 2019, we will bring the very best of Indonesian music, dance, art, tradition and, of course, cuisine to the very centre of our city to celebrate all things Indonesian.”
For over a decade Indofest-Adelaide has played an important role in bringing a deeper understanding of Indonesian culture to the people of Adelaide.
In 2017 Indofest has won the South Australian Governor’s Multicultural Awards.
Thanks to event sponsors, including the City of Adelaide, Multicultural Affairs of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, and Education Partner Flinders University’s Jembatan, this event will transform the heart of Adelaide with all the very best Indonesia has to offer.

A piece of Indofest history
Since the first festival in 2008, INDOfest-Adelaide just keeps getting better year after year.
