Melbourne KMCC has received formal recognition from Stephen McGhie MP, State Member for Melton, with a certificate of appreciation issued under the seal of the Victorian Parliament acknowledging the organisation’s volunteer service and community contribution.
The certificate, signed by Stephen McGhie MP, acknowledges KMCC Melbourne’s contribution to the community, adding that its work is “highly valued”. KMCC has also received an appreciation certificate from Federal Minister Sam Rae. The acknowledgements reflect growing recognition of KMCC’s volunteer-led work supporting families, youth, and community education initiatives.
KMCC leaders said the acknowledgement was encouraging for volunteers who give their time consistently, often behind the scenes, and viewed it as an affirmation of sustained community work rather than a single activity. They noted that both state and federal Members of Parliament have maintained close ties with KMCC over the years and regularly attend or engage with its public events.
Alongside the recognition, KMCC Chairman Shiyas Khalid said the organisation strongly condemns the recent Sydney terror attack, reiterating that violence has no place in Australian society and that community harmony must be protected. He said KMCC remains committed to promoting peace, dialogue, and social responsibility through its work.
KMCC is now preparing for its next major community event, a T10 cricket tournament scheduled for January 26. The tournament will feature 15 teams, with five grounds across Melbourne’s west already booked by the organisation. Khalid said the event reflects KMCC’s focus on bringing families and young people together through sport and community participation, and he expressed hope for strong community support.
Over recent years, KMCC Melbourne has built a visible presence through seminars, family programmes, and community outreach, supported by an active volunteer base that includes young people and families. KMCC representatives said the parliamentary recognition would be shared with volunteers as a reminder that community service, even when quiet and local, continues to matter and be noticed.
