Multicultural Australia QLD

Refugees and other new Queenslanders start and support small business that contribute millions to our economy every year. They settle in regional areas and help them grow. They join sporting teams and study at our world-leading universities. They introduce us to delicious new food and share their music, arts, and traditions.

We support more than 5,000 newly arrived Queenslanders every year, including refugees, international students, people seeking asylum and migrants with the goal of creating a fairer, more prosperous society for all Queenslanders.


We help them to settle into their new lives, build connections in their communities, find work and study opportunities, learn new skills, and feel at home.

We also work with individuals, communities, business, and government to help build a more welcoming Queensland through advocacy, cultural training and community events that bring people together, foster understanding and recognise the valuable contribution that new arrivals and migrants make to Queensland.
