Multicultural Women's Programs

Women are the fabric of our society and are often a huge source of support to their families and communities. At MFO we recognise the amazing courage, strength and resilience of all women from all religions and cultural backgrounds. We also understand that sometimes CALD women are faced with additional obstacles when navigating life in a new country. Our services are aimed at empowering women with information, guidance and support so they can excel and thrive. We provide career support and mentoring and case management as well as a variety of programs and groups.

The Multicultural Women’s Friendship Group

This group welcomes women of all ages, all cultures and all religions to come together in friendship and harmony with a special focus on social inclusion and integration into the wider Gold Coast community. Many of the women are migrants who are new to Australia or new to the Gold Coast. This group supports them to practice their English, learn about Australia and build a support network through sharing food and stories and learning about each other’s cultures and local services. We also share our special talents with each other such as cooking and arts and crafts and go on exciting excursions.
