The Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC) is seeking expressions of interest from community members, businesses, service providers, and local government to become members of its Regional Advisory Councils.
A unique opportunity to promote Victoria’s diversity is now open in representing each of the following eight regions in Victoria: north and west metropolitan, eastern metropolitan and southern metropolitan, Barwon south west, Grampians, Loddon Mallee, Hume, and Gippsland.
Regional Advisory Councils are integral to how the VMC continues to act as a primary conduit to government with, for, and on behalf of multicultural communities across Victoria.
Members are not only strong advocates for their communities, but can directly inform the commission on matters of multicultural affairs, settlement, service delivery, and citizenship issues, and assist in promoting the benefits of diversity in their local areas.
The VMC strongly encourages people from culturally, linguistically, and religiously diverse backgrounds including refugees and asylum seekers, and people over the age of 16 to apply.
The term of appointment is for a period of two years, 1 July, 2017 – 30 June, 2019. Expressions of interest close Friday 19 May. Interested applicants can find more information and application details at www.multicultural.vic.gov.au/regional-advisory-councils/about-rac
