Victorian Multicultural Commission

Strengthening communities

We support and advocate for culturally and linguistically diverse Victorians

As the main link between communities and government, the Victorian Multicultural Commission engages with multicultural and multifaith groups to understand the issues they face. We then work together to identify and recommend potential solutions to government, policymakers and community organisations to make public services more inclusive and accessible.
