The Townsville Multicultural Support Group, Inc. (TMSG) is a community based organisation which encourages and helps people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds in a range of areas. It runs programs with the assistance of volunteers and programs funded by the Commonwealth, Queensland and Local Governments, as well as community organisations.
The TMSG is supported by objectives outlined in its Mission Statement.
TMSG History
The TMSG had its origin in the Ethnic Women’s Group in 1990. Women from diverse groups were concerned that the practical grassroots needs of refugee and migrant women needed to be met. TMSG became incorporated in 1992. TMSG has always relied on a spirit of volunteerism for its continuity. This trend continues today. Additionally, TMSG receives government funding to enable us to offer a range of programs designed to meet the needs of newly arrived migrants and refugees.
Management
The TMSG is managed by a committee that is elected at an Annual General Meeting. The committee meets on a regular basis to discuss, consider and decide many issues concerning settlement of migrants.
TMSG Staff
TMSG has staffing in several different funded programs and is managed on a daily basis by the TMSG Coordinator.
Membership
The TMSG membership fee is AU$2.00 per year. Anyone interested in becoming a member of our friendly group, please contact us.
