One language, many families

Punjabi is one of the fastest-growing languages in Australia: at the 2021 Census about 239,000 people spoke it at home, up roughly 80% on 2016. Most are Sikh families, and many Hindu Punjabi families and Muslim families from Pakistani Punjab speak it too.

Every Khandaan profile states its religion up front, so you can see at a glance whether a family is Sikh, Hindu or Muslim. Anything more specific, like whether the household is Amritdhari, which part of Punjab the family comes from, or whether Punjabi is spoken at home, belongs in the family’s own introduction.

Open to other cities?

Adelaide sits between Melbourne and Perth, and a lot of Adelaide families look at Melbourne as a natural next step. One account lets you browse every city.

Questions families ask

Is Khandaan free for Punjabi families in Adelaide?

Creating and listing a profile is free, with no credit card. To send introductions you pay $79 once, GST included, by PayID, and that unlocks unlimited introductions. There is no subscription. Matchmakers list for free.

How is Khandaan different from a dating app?

Khandaan is built for families, not for individuals swiping on strangers. A parent or relative can create the profile, introductions go from one family to another, and photos stay private until both families agree to connect.

Are the profiles in Adelaide verified?

ID checks are optional. A member can send a photo of a government ID and a selfie, a Khandaan team member reviews them, and the photos are deleted once checked. Profiles that have passed carry a badge. It is a basic check, not a background check, so families should still make their own enquiries.

Can I use a matchmaker in Adelaide?

Yes. You can browse matchmakers who list on Khandaan, and those who have had an ID check carry a badge. Matchmakers list for free, and there are no extra fees for the families they work with.

Is Khandaan only for Sikh families?

No. Sikh, Hindu and Muslim Punjabi families all list on Khandaan, along with families from many other Indian and Pakistani communities. Each profile states its religion, and the family’s introduction can say more, such as language at home or where the family is from.

Can we find a Punjabi match living in Australia?

Yes. Khandaan lists families who live in Australia, by city, so you can search Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra or the Gold Coast from one free account.

Can I find a match outside Adelaide?

Yes. Profiles are searchable by city across Australia from one account, so you can start with Adelaide and widen the search whenever your family is ready.
