Kosciuszko Heritage has six principal objectives and goals. They are:
The promotion of the contribution made by local and international leaders, particularly Sir Paul de Strzelecki and General Tadeusz Kosciuszko, whose name is borne by the highest peak of Australia, Mt Kosciuszko;
The organisation of cultural events to be held in Jindabyne, Cooma, and other suitable locations;
The production of radio, press and internet publications, as well as video documentaries, promoting the heroes and the events;
The promotion of the contribution made by inspirational and influential individuals – particularly Polish migrants – to Australia’s history and cultural heritage;
The preservation of Polish culture and identity for younger generations of Poles; and
The promotion of the Polish contribution to the exploration of Australia’s natural features (such as the Snowy Mountains and the Strzelecki Track in South Australia) and the inclusion of the Polish contribution in appropriate references in Heritage Listings at the National and World Heritage levels.
These objectives were amended at the 2010 Annual Meeting.
