Victorian government to invest $52 million in multicultural communities

·

The Victorian Budget for 2024/2025 will invest $52 million to support the strength of multicultural communities. This includes $5 million to support the social and economic wellbeing of Victorians with African heritage.

Funding will help jobseekers find work, support community organisations to deliver culturally appropriate outreach, and support the Victorian African Communities Committee.

An additional $11 million will increase funding for the Victorian state’s community language schools, while a further $3.9 million will help meet demand for interpreting and translating services in the state’s schools and early childhood facilities.

Almost $1 million in multicultural media grants will also be invested.

The Victorian budget is investing $4.4 million to provide early support for newly arrived migrants to help them connect to their new home and to fund legal help for refugees, asylum seekers and temporary visa holders.

The Victorian government is additionally providing $6 million to faith-based non-government schools for additional security upgrades to help communities feel safe.
