Multicultural Australia

Since 1998, Multicultural Australia (formerly Multicultural Development Australia) has been welcoming refugees, people seeking asylum, international students and other new arrivals to Queensland with the goal of creating a fairer, more prosperous society for all Queenslanders.

We support more than 5,000 newly arrived Queenslanders every year, including refugees, international students, people seeking asylum and migrants.

We help them to settle into their new lives, build connections in their communities, find work and study opportunities, learn new skills and feel at home.

We also work with individuals, communities, business and government to help build a more welcoming Queensland through advocacy, cultural training and community events that bring people together, foster understanding and recognise the valuable contribution that new arrivals and migrants make to Queensland.
