The Victorian Government has opened applications for a series of senior leadership and advisory positions that will help establish Multicultural Victoria, a new body intended to strengthen engagement with the state’s multicultural and multifaith communities.
The recruitment process follows the government’s commitment to implement recommendations from Victoria’s Multicultural Review, which called for a more coordinated approach to community engagement, policy development and service delivery.
At the centre of the appointments is the role of Multicultural Coordinator-General, who will report to the Minister for Multicultural and Multifaith Victoria and provide strategic leadership, along with advice on policies and services affecting culturally diverse communities.
The government is also seeking a part-time Deputy Coordinator-General to work alongside the Coordinator-General in leading projects, programs and policy initiatives.
Another position will focus on regional Victoria, providing strategic leadership on issues affecting multicultural and multifaith communities outside metropolitan Melbourne while strengthening engagement with regional communities.
Applications have also opened for members of the Multicultural Community Advisory Group, which will provide advice to help ensure the perspectives of multicultural and multifaith communities are reflected in government decision-making.
The establishment of Multicultural Victoria marks a structural change in the way the state government engages with Victoria’s culturally diverse population by bringing community engagement, policy development and program delivery into a single organisation.
Applications for all positions close on Sunday 9 August 2026.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
