Supporting Multicultural Community Infrastructure

The Andrews Labor Government is helping build new, accessible spaces where Victoria’s multicultural communities can celebrate their history and culture.

Minister for Multicultural Affairs Ros Spence today invited community organisations to apply for grants of up to $500,000 to upgrade, renovate or build community facilities.

The $4.25 million Multicultural Community Infrastructure Fund supports communities to come together and ensure community organisations can continue to deliver services and activities in a safe, accessible environment.

The funding supports projects throughout Victoria and prioritises applications from rural and regional groups.

New and emerging communities are also encouraged to apply.

Applications are open until 31 January 2022.
