Multicultural Futures is a dynamic, charitable organisation that gets results. Founded in 1981, we’ve built decades of experience, working in partnership with government and other service providers to support migrants and refugees as they build a new life in Australia.
Previously known as Fremantle Multicultural Centre, we changed our name to better reflect our societal impact across Western Australia, a continued focus on providing quality support to multicultural communities, and our broader interest of driving systemic change; forging a thriving and vibrant multicultural future for everyone.
We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of our nation and the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work.
