Mountains
Multicultural Interagency
About the Group
MCRN provides leadership in resourcing and convening the Mountains Multicultural Interagency
(MMI).
Purpose/Goals
The BMCI provides a cross-sectoral, generalist forum – open to both specialist and
generalist services – enabling managers and workers to identify services, new programs,
changes in direction, ways to address
issues arising for the sector, and opportunities for partnerships.
Purpose/Goals
The aims of MMI are as follows:
- to encourage the wider community and workers from Government and non government sector
to network, exchange information and collaborate on issues and projects relevant to the
CALD communities in the Blue Mountains LGA.
- MMI will identify service delivery issues, including gaps in services, obstacles and
barriers to accessing services, both Government and non-Government. It will also act as
an advisory body and will support workers in their work with the target group.
- MMI will advocate for improving and effective service delivery, for additional services
and where local, state and national issues affect local multicultural communities.
- MMI will actively promote cultural harmony and productive diversity, engaging the whole
community.
- MMI Interagency will advocate on behalf of CALD people in order that they be given
opportunities to contribute and participate in the social and economic life of the
region.
Activities
The MMI works to plan activities across the community for
Refugee Week or Harmony Day. MMI has adopted the #OliveRibbon Campaign as its core business
(see the Olive Ribbon Pledge - top left).
