Joining the Welcoming Cities network supports City Of Monash’s work towards building stronger communities and achieving greater social cohesion.  When members of our diverse community who live, work or study in Monash feel welcome and safe they are more likely to engage with and participate in all aspects of life in the City of Monash and beyond.

Monash is one of Melbourne’s most culturally, linguistically and religiously diverse municipalities in Victoria. Monash Council is committed to maximising the benefits of its multicultural community by embracing, acknowledging and celebrating the contributions that people from migrant and refugee backgrounds have made and continue to make to the economic, social, cultural and political life of the municipality.
