Hoosein was born and raised in South Africa. From the struggles of apartheid in South Africa to his work with communities and WA state government agencies, Hoosein has spent his life in the service of others and is committed to bringing people together in the spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

 

During the 1980’s he resisted apartheid in South Africa and on moving to New Zealand in 1999, he worked with migrant communities to help them integrate in their new found home. In Western Australia he continues to do the same whilst also serving on numerous boards, committees and not for profit management teams.

 

Hoosein serves on the WA Police Advisory board for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities as well as the Community Grants Program Assessment Panel appointed by the Minister of Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs. Additionally, he serves as Treasurer for the Al Hidayah Centre and the Bennett Springs Residents Association. In 2019 Hoosein’s contribution for his advocacy for Human Rights was featured at an exhibition in Fremantle by the United Nations.
