Everyone eats. Everyone belongs.

Everyone is welcome. No referral, no paperwork, no cost unless we say so.

Who we are

A community centre that actually feels like one

South West Multicultural and Community Centre is a not-for-profit run from a small building in Minto. We have been here more than twenty-five years.

What we do is not complicated. We put on a meal and sit down with people. We run programs that young people actually want to turn up to. We work with families coming out of the hardest years of their lives. And we do it across every culture in South West Sydney, because that mix is the whole point.
