About Us
The Multicultural Community Centre (MCC) was established in 1989, in Chinatown, to meet needs of Brisbane’s Culturally And Linguistically Diverse (CALD) community, in the specific local communities of Fortitude Valley and New Farm, and in the wider Brisbane community.
MCC was formally incorporated in 1996 and operates as a charitable organisation (a public benevolent institution) in its own privately-funded building at 977 Ann Street Fortitude Valley. MCC targets migrants, the disadvantaged, the poor and the elderly. MCC is actively involved in combating any forms of racism and acts as an advocate and liaison body where government and non-government bodies are concerned. It also actively promotes multiculturalism and cultural maintenance of traditions, language and customs.
Our Aims
The aims of MCC are as follows:
- To assist those disadvantaged by poverty, sickness, unemployment, racial discrimination and those who are recognisably in need of relief, with practical services catering for the community’s language and cultural diversity
- To feed and clothe the poor and needy
- To care for and provide assistance to the elderly and disabled
