Introduction and program objective

The objective of the Multicultural Infrastructure and Security Program (MISP) is to support Victoria’s multicultural and multifaith community organisations to maintain and upgrade their community facilities and create a safe and secure place to celebrate and share their history and traditions.

The MISP acknowledges the importance of upgrading and securing community infrastructure that will support Victoria’s diverse multicultural and multifaith communities to:

  • celebrate and share their culture, history
    and traditions
  • build community connections and
    networks to participate in society
  • help communities to access social and cultural opportunities
  • improve the security of community facilities

To achieve this objective, MISP is offering grants to Victorian multicultural and multifaith community organisations to support maintenance works, renovations, and security upgrades to their community facilities.
