Victorians are encouraged to honour the remarkable people and organisations that help make our state a multicultural success story.
Minister for Multicultural Affairs Ros Spence and Victorian Multicultural Commission Chairperson Viv Nguyen on Wednesday (14 July) announced that nominations are open for the Victorian Multicultural Awards for Excellence.
The annual awards, now in their 20th year, include 15 categories, covering issues such as community harmony, business, education and early childhood, local government, arts, health and emergency services, an official press release said.
The awards also include the community response and recovery category—introduced in 2020 to acknowledge the remarkable efforts of those who have assisted during the response to the pandemic.
Victorians can be nominated for either paid or voluntary work, and award recipients will be honoured in a ceremony hosted by the Victorian Multicultural Commission later in the year.
“I encourage Victorians to get involved by nominating someone who has made an outstanding contribution to our rich and diverse community.”

Nominations close Sunday 5 September, and individuals can self-nominate.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
