Oromo have several ongoing and continuous ties with their home country, particularly through news update and on-going developments, running small businesses and variety shops importing cultural foods, such as coffee and spices as well cultural clothes and artwork and artifacts to Australia.

Connection is kept alive via online channels, such as media outlets, social media, and telephone. Sometimes few people are able to travel for family visit.

Like other diaspora communities, the Oromo regularly send money to individuals or family members for medical treatment, food, children education. It is very rare that the Oromo send items, as it is expensive.
The constant requests for support are worrying and stressful, for the Oromo in Australia, and not easy to ignore or avoid.
