Message from the Minister for Multicultural Affairs

I’m pleased to announce the launch of the 2024–25 Multicultural Media Grants program.  

The Victorian Government is ensuring our state’s multicultural media organisations can continue to deliver essential information, entertainment and education services to Victoria’s diverse communities.

Victoria’s multicultural media is the lifeblood of our multicultural communities. These organisations play a vital role in amplifying the voices, stories, and experiences of Victoria's diverse communities. Multicultural media organisations foster community connections and promote unity within our vibrant society.

Over the years, our multicultural media organisations have undertaken incredible work, particularly through challenging times like the pandemic and natural disasters.

Recognising the crucial role of Victoria’s multicultural media organisations, the Multicultural Media Grants program aims to improve service capabilities and expand reach into Victorian communities.

The program offers funding to upgrade equipment, build capacity through staff and volunteer training and development, and importantly, to provide opportunities and pathways for people seeking careers in the multicultural media sector.

As our multicultural communities grow, the diversity of multicultural media grows with them. The significance of your contributions can’t be understated.

Thank you to our multicultural media organisations for your essential role in representing, showcasing and connecting Victoria’s diverse communities.

I encourage multicultural media organisations to apply for funds through this program, to help ensure the positive impacts of your work continues.

Ingrid Stitt MP

Minister for Multicultural Affairs
