Recognising Multicultural community work

NOMINATIONS OPEN FOR PREMIER’S MULTICULTURAL MEDALS AND HONOUR ROLL

Nominations are now open for the Premier’s Multicultural Medals and Honour Roll, which recognise the significant contributions and achievements to multiculturalism by outstanding community members. Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson said the Tamworth electorate was the proud home to people from several different nationalities thanks to the hard work and dedication of local advocates and support groups.

“From Tamworth, to Gunnedah, to Barraba, to Quirindi, our region is home to people from a wide range of cultures, backgrounds and beliefs who all contribute to make our region a great place to live, work, learn and play,” Mr Anderson said. “We can never repay them for the contributions they have made, but I know recognising their efforts as part of the Premier’s Multicultural Medals and Honour Roll is a fantastic way to thank them for their efforts.”

There are 12 categories for the awards, including business, local government, not-for-profit and arts and culture. Nominations close on Friday 18 November. For more information or to nominate, visit the Multicultural NSW website www.multicultural.nsw.gov.au.
