Melbourne, Victoria — In a landmark moment for the state, Interim Multicultural Coordinator General Louise Perry has outlined her vision for Multicultural and Multifaith Victoria — the newly established body created to ensure that the experiences, perspectives, and aspirations of Victoria’s diverse communities actively shape government policies, programs, and services.

A New Chapter for Victoria

Established today, Multicultural and Multifaith Victoria brings together three critical functions — community engagement, policy, and grants delivery — under one unified structure. This integrated approach is designed to strengthen the relationship between government and the state’s multicultural and multifaith communities, ensuring their voices are not only heard but embedded in the decisions that affect their lives.

A Vision Rooted in Community

Interim Coordinator General Louise Perry shared her vision for the new organisation, highlighting the opportunities it creates for communities across Victoria. Her message underscores a commitment to meaningful engagement — one that moves beyond consultation to genuine partnership.

The establishment of Multicultural and Multifaith Victoria represents a significant step forward in how the Victorian Government engages with its culturally and religiously diverse communities. By bringing together engagement, policy, and grants under one roof, the organisation is positioned to deliver more coordinated, responsive, and impactful outcomes.
