A person read every profile here before it went live. You see his photos; he sees yours only after you approve him. Your phone and email are never shown to anyone. Photos appear when she approves your request. Every interest you send carries a note you wrote, so make it count. Her contact details are never shown; she shares them if she wants to.
Sri Lanka is among the larger sources of South Asian migration to Australia, and the Tamil part of that community is long-settled, with the biggest populations in Melbourne’s south-east and western Sydney.
The South Asian community in Sydney is strongest in Blacktown, Glenwood, Schofields, Quakers Hill, Riverstone, Parramatta and Harris Park. Those are also the places a search on Rishta tends to start, though most members open theirs to the whole city and often to Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane too.
Sri Lankan Tamil families are not Indian Tamil families, and being offered one when you asked for the other is the standing complaint about the big sites. Family origin is its own field on Rishta, separate from language and religion, so Jaffna, Colombo, Chennai and born-here are all distinguishable. Caste is there for families who use it and “no bar” for those who do not.

How Rishta works for Sri Lankan Tamil families in Sydney
Filters Sri Lankan Tamil families here actually use: Family origin: Sri Lanka · Tamil mother tongue · Hindu or Christian · Community, or no bar · Citizen, PR or visa.
- Read by a person, or invisible
- Someone reads every profile before it goes live. Until it passes you cannot search and nobody can find you. No bots, no recycled photos, no profile made in two minutes.
- An ID check if you want one
- Photograph your passport or licence and then your face, and your profile carries a verified badge. It takes about a minute, it costs nothing, and it is entirely optional — we are not asking anyone to hand over a document just to look around.
- No firehose
- Every interest has to carry a note someone wrote by hand, at least forty characters of it, so nobody can bulk-send. There is no daily quota to spend and no button that fires a hundred taps at once.
- Talk without giving out your number
- Once you have accepted someone you can call them, voice, straight from the conversation. It goes between your two phones and never through us. Either of you can ask to turn cameras on mid-call, and the other has to agree first. You can switch calls off entirely and still write to people.
- A matchmaker, never from your city
- Australian members are looked after by matchmakers based in Auckland and in other Australian cities, never their own. She will not run into you at a wedding. Free for women; on the Vichola tier ($1200/month) she searches and approaches on a man’s behalf.
Questions Sri Lankan Tamil families in Sydney ask us
Is Rishta open in Sydney?
Not yet. We open a city when there are enough verified women in it for introductions to be real, and Sydney is on the list. Join the waitlist and we’ll tell you the moment it opens; nobody is charged while waiting.
How is this different from Shaadi.com for Sri Lankan Tamil families in Sydney?
Three ways. A person reads every profile before it goes live. Women decide who can find them, and their photos are hidden until they approve someone. And no phone number or email is ever displayed on a profile, at any membership level. There is a longer comparison at /rishta-vs-shaadi.
Do women pay?
Not to search, be found, add photos, send interests, message or call. That is free for women permanently, and men pay for the same things. A matchmaker working on your behalf is a separate paid service for everyone, because that is a person’s time.
Can my parents be involved?
Yes. Family can pay for a son’s membership, can see a Family View page you choose the contents of, and can speak to your matchmaker with your consent. What they can’t do is create or run a profile for someone who hasn’t agreed to it.
Can I filter by community and mother tongue?
Yes. Mother tongue, religion, community (with “caste no bar” always available), diet, family origin and residency status are all filters, and any of them can be a must-have.
A note from the founder
I spent six months on a paid plan on the biggest matrimonial site in the world, searching honestly for someone to marry from here. I found roughly ten men for every woman, a paid plan that produced nothing, and a fake profile I could make in minutes.
Rishta is what I wished had existed: women free with nothing held back, photos hidden until she says yes, every profile read by a person before it goes live, every interest written by hand, no phone numbers on the page, and a matchmaker who is never from your own town. I built it because I am looking too.
