The Alevi Community Council of Australia was originally known as the Victorian Alevi Cultural Centre. This centre was built and opened in 1995. This centre included the Cem Evi — a gathering and worshiping place for the Alevi people.

​

The Alevi Community Council of Australia is a non-profit voluntary organisation and it aims to support the community by developing and delivering programs to meet their needs.
 

To achieve these objectives the Alevi Community Council of Australia organises regular conferences, seminars, theatre performances, educational programs and holds commemoration events. In addition, the Alevi Community Council contributes to broader research and community projects, as well as to magazines and newspapers.

​

The Alevi Community Council of Australia has established and developed relationships with other Alevi organisations, and with other associations which are democratic, secular and recognise the Alevi faith and values.

​

The Alevi Community Centre is based in Coburg with facilities including classrooms, computer facilities, a morgue, a cafeteria, the Alevi Community Centre main hall which seats up to 400 people, two meeting rooms, an industrial kitchen, a library, a playground for children, and a 60 car space car park. The Alevi Federation of Australia's office is also located at this facility.
