Greek Australian, Maria Dimopoulos, has announced her resignation as Deputy Chairperson of the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC).

In a Facebook post on Sunday, Ms Dimopoulos wrote that her decision was made “with a heavy heart.”

“It has been an absolute honour to work with Victoria’s multicultural communities in this role, and I am immensely proud of our collective achievements,” Ms Dimopoulos added.

Maria Dimopoulos works tirelessly to address issues within multicultural communities including family violence, racism and equality.

“The vision of genuine equality will always guide me. I remain unreservedly committed in continuing to champion human rights, inclusion and greater multicultural engagement in Victoria with the centrality of First Nations history.”
