About the organisation
The Victorian Multicultural Commission (the Commission) advocates for Victoria’s culturally, religiously, and linguistically diverse communities. Established in 1983, the Commission provides independent advice to the Victorian Government, shaping policies and services that support multicultural communities. Acting as a bridge between government and communities, the Commission fosters social harmony and inclusion, particularly in times of unrest. It promotes the cultural, social, and economic benefits of multiculturalism and influences systemic change to remove barriers and promote participation in Victorian life. The Commission works closely with government departments and agencies, multicultural organisations, and community leaders to build a more inclusive Victoria.
