The Multicultural Reference Group (MRG) comprises residents from over 13 countries who reside in the City of Cockburn. The group meets bi-monthly to celebrate and promote cultural diversity, provide recommendations on requirements and priorities, and exchange information with the City of Cockburn.
The MRG serves as a platform for members to share their experiences, knowledge, and perspectives, and to provide valuable insights to the City of Cockburn on how to better support and engage with multicultural communities.
If you would like to join the MRG, please complete the
MRG Member Nomination Form. We'll contact applicants once membership positions become available.
An Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held every year to consider the nominations and current membership.
The membership terms are for two years. If vacancies occur during the year, new nominations may be considered.
If you are interested in becoming a member, contact the City of Cockburn by completing the MRG Nomination Form.
Representatives from local service delivery agencies that focus on multicultural communities are invited to attend MRG meetings as guest speakers.
We welcome agencies that can offer insights and expertise on matters related to cultural diversity, as well as share updates on their programs and services for the benefit of the MRG members and the broader community.
