Multicultural Communities

Multicultural Communities (previously known as the Fairfield Migrant Resource Centre), is a service division of CORE Community Services whose values embody human rights and social justice principles.

We develop and provide a range of services to newly arrived migrants, humanitarian entrants and refugees within their first five years of arriving in Australia. We celebrate diversity and work in partnership with local communities and other organisations to work towards realising a vision of equality and unification.

We have been providing assistance to culturally and linguistically diverse communities in South West Sydney since 1986 and continue to work with and advocate for our community.

Multicultural Communities strives to improve people's access to services and quality of life, address special settlement needs and help nurture people's potential, skills and confidence to enable them to be active and productive members of a multicultural Australian society.

Our services include:

• Advocacy and policy work
• Employment, education and training support
• Housing support services
• Domestic violence and family support services
• Settlement and support services for refugees, humanitarian entrants and newly arrived migrants
• Electricity bill assistance for residents of the Fairfield LGA as part of the Energy Accounts Payment Assistance (EAPA) Scheme funded by the NSW Department of Resources, Industry & Energy

 We are proud to announce that as of July 2015, CORE Community Services became a part of the NSW Settlement Partnership (NSP), a consortium consisting of 22 member organisations which aims to provide support for eligible clients to promote economic and personal wellbeing, independence and community connectedness.
