Cultural Diversity

Multiculturalism is a core part of the Victorian identity, our character and way of life.

Our state is home to people who speak 290 languages and have 314 different ancestries. It's also a place where anyone can contribute and belong.

Cultural Diversity Week & Harmony Week 18-24 March 2024

The Department of Home Affairs leads national celebrations for Harmony Week to recognise diversity and inclusion. Harmony Week is a time to celebrate Australian multiculturalism and the successful integration of migrants into our communities. Harmony Week is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians.

Cultural Diversity Week is a time to celebrate the power, influence, and stories of Victoria's rich multicultural communities. 

The theme this year of Cultural Diversity Week is Our Shared Stories: Celebrating Together. This powerful theme goes beyond individual narratives, encouraging us to recognise and celebrate the beautiful intersections that enrich our culturally diverse state.

We are proud of the rich diversity of communities who live, visit and work in Moorabool Shire. We encourage you to share the message of respect and inclusiveness in your community.
