About This Event
A launch event for the Multicultural Carer Hub, inviting multicultural carers for an afternoon of appreciation with refreshments, connections, special guests, and an opportunity to share experiences. Registration is required.
Event Summary
The Australian Multicultural Community Centre (AUSMCC) proudly hosted a Carers Week Lunch in collaboration with the Brotherhood of St. Laurence (BSL) and Homestead Community and Learning Centre, with funding support from Carers Victoria. The event recognised and celebrated the vital contributions of unpaid carers from multicultural communities across the Hume region.
over 35 multicultural carers attended and enjoyed a warm, welcoming and supportive environment. The program included cultural drumming and dancing, shared stories, and meaningful conversations that encouraged connection and wellbeing.
Special guests included:
Kathleen Matthews-Ward MP, Member for Broadmeadows, acknowledging the commitment of local carers.
Jessica Harmer (Access & Support Officer), sharing guidance on carer support services.
Anaa Plisi, Senior Manager at BSL, offering inspiration and encouragement through her lived experience and insights.
The event strengthened social connections, increased awareness of culturally appropriate support available through AUMCC, BSL and Carers Victoria, and empowered carers to share their stories and support one another. It also highlighted the continued role of AUSMCC’s Carers Connection Hub in supporting wellbeing and community inclusion.
A heartfelt thank you to Carers Victoria for funding this event and helping us create a welcoming and meaningful space for multicultural carers to connect, celebrate, and feel supported.
