Unfinished Business: One year on from the Multicultural Framework Review

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: One Year On From The Multicultural Framework Review

Together with the Settlement Council of Australia, Australian Bahá’í Community and NAATI, Polaron Connect invites you to a powerful morning of reflection, dialogue, and collaboration as we mark one year since the release of the Multicultural Framework Review (MFR).

💡 This event brings together multicultural leaders, community organisations, and policymakers to examine what’s changed, what’s yet to be done, and how we can shape a more inclusive, equitable, and connected Australia.

Building on the success of our Melbourne and online conferences in 2024, our Sydney event continues the national conversation, this time through the lens of New South Wales, featuring leaders driving real impact in Australia’s multicultural future.

Meet the Speakers
Our panel brings together voices from across government, community, and advocacy:

• Maria Dimopoulos AM (CEO at Settlement Council of Australia)

• Parviz Deamer (Director of Public Discourse at Australian Bahá’í Community)

• Mark Painting (CEO at NAATI)

• Türkan Aksoy (NSW Coordinator at Welcoming Cities Australia)

• Esta Paschalidis-Chilas (CEO at Canterbury Community Centre)

…and more to be announced

Each speaker brings unique insights into how the Multicultural Framework Review has shaped their work, and what collective action is needed next.
