Australia’s Tapestry of Cultures Takes Centre Stage at the 2025 National Multicultural Health & Wellbeing Conference
Melbourne recently hosted the Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia (FECCA) for the annual National Multicultural Health & Wellbeing Conference, attracting over 300 participants from a range of backgrounds. Held at the Victoria Pavilion, the event’s theme, “Shaping Tomorrow Together,” set the tone for lively discussions on the challenges and opportunities facing Australia’s diverse communities.
Delegates explored priority topics such as mental health, women’s wellbeing, and the impact of cultural barriers on access to services. Strong representation from Filipino-Australian and other multicultural communities demonstrated the importance of inclusivity in policy development, while FECCA’s CEO highlighted the need to address specific health challenges faced by migrants and refugees.
Sessions showcased solutions in areas like community engagement, culturally responsive care, and technology’s role in health equity. The event concluded with a call for policies that support multiculturalism and guarantee equal access to healthcare for all Australians.
