Welcome
Victoria is one of the most culturally diverse and harmonious societies in the world. The Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC) is committed to fostering harmony and encouraging the full participation of Victoria’s ethnic communities with the social, economic and cultural life of our community.
The VMC is now accepting nominations for the Victorian Refugee Record (VRRR). The VRRR officially recognises the remarkable contribution that refugees have made, both in their own ethnic communities as well as to the Victorian community as a whole. To make a nomination, simply fill out the VRRR Nomination form (DOC 327 kb) and email it to info@vmc.vic.gov.auMulticultural Resources Directory
The Victorian Multicultural Commission has released an important new resource to help people access services across Victoria. The easy-to-use directory lists the details for more than 1700 interfaith networks, language service providers, government agencies, chambers of commerce, consulates and community language schools and is available at libraries, community and information centres. It can also be accessed online. Click here for the Multicultural Resources Directory
A valuable resource for local councils
Population Diversity in Local Councils in Victoria: 2006 Census is published by the Victorian Multicultural Commission and provides data on birthplace, language, ancestry, and religion at the Local Government level. It is an invaluable guide for local government planners, community organisations, researchers and those in the broader community concerned with designing and delivering services that are accessible and equitable. Find out more about the Population Diversity in Local Councils report.
