About Us
AMCCU is a fully-registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).
Our History
Australian Multi-Cultural Communities United was formed out of the need to bond our beautifully rich society into #OneCommunity that enjoys and celebrates its diversity like no other.
We work tirelessly to assist all people to live a life that adheres to their truest and most authentic self.
Vision, Mission, Purpose, Values, and Actions
Vision
Creating the World’s most inclusive Society.
Mission
Creating awareness of the uniqueness and diversity of multi-cultural Australia.
Purpose
The objects for which the Company is established are:
1. Australian Multi-Cultural Communities United Limited (“AMCCU”) promotes the diversity of food, film, video, television, radio, music, dance, fashion, literature, and various forms of art, craft, and design introduced and celebrated by our Indigenous and multi-cultural society in Australia.
2. AMCCU encourages, endorses, and fosters reconciliation, acceptance, and co-operation between the different races, ethnic and religious groups living in Australia to bond them into one community.
3. AMCCU supports the social and economic integration of migrants and new community members.
4. AMCCU may undertake and pursue all other similarly related, or compatible objects or activities incidental to the primary objects as, from time to time, may be considered appropriate by the Company.

- Producing Fashion Shows and Dance Shows that demonstrate the beauty of culturally-diverse fashion (both traditional and modern)
- Actively supporting other indigenous and multi-cultural communities by promoting their art & culture through our events and online platforms >>This last action is the result of all previous actions that are educating everyone about everyone else’s unique culture, thereby removing the ignorance that causes racism. Besides, we hope, it is so entertaining, so much fun, that it inspires the curiosity to learn more about each other and thereby fosters the kind of understanding that results in respect and inclusion
AMCCU acknowledges the traditional custodians of the country throughout Australia, and their continuing connection and protective commitment to land, water and community. We pay our respects to them and their deep-rooted cultures, and to their Elders past, present and emerging.
