Sabian Mandaean Association in Australia
Ganzibra Dakhil Mandi is affiliated with and administered by the Sabian Mandaean Association in Australia, which is also supervising the construction and expansion of Wallacia Mandi (also known as Mendi Wallacia) located by the banks of the Nepean River in Wallacia, New South Wales. Since flowing river water is required for Mandaean baptisms, Ganzibra Dakhil Mandi congregation members go to Wallacia Mandi for baptisms, while Ganzibra Dakhil Mandi is used for sermons and meetings that do not include baptismal rituals.[8][9][10]
