Multicultural Council of Tasmania

Our vision is of a culturally and linguistically diverse and harmonious Tasmania where people with diverse backgrounds have the opportunity to participate in and contribute to Tasmanian society.

Our mission is to be a community-based, member-driven organisation that empowers people from diverse and multicultural backgrounds to have a voice.

We advocate and lobby for human rights, social justice, respect, equality, and dignity for multicultural communities.

We work to build an inclusive society by providing information and promoting cultures, languages and multicultural issues in the community.

Our members help to welcome new migrants and refugees to Tasmania.

Our values are of inclusiveness, respect, co-operation, integrity, and accountability.

We work with:

  • our member organisations

  • residents of Tasmania with a culturally and linguistically diverse background, including people with a refugee background, international students and migrants

  • all levels of government and agencies that provide service

  • the broader Tasmanian community
