Submitting an event

The Multicultural Events Calendar uses an external platform called Tockify.

Upon submission of an event, an automated email confirming submission will be sent to the submitter. Once the submission has been reviewed and approved by Multicultural Affairs it will be published in the calendar and another automated email will be sent to the submitter.

If further information is needed to publish an event, the person submitting the event will be contacted by email.

Calendar submissions will be processed within five business days.

Once an event has been submitted, or for any events already published in the Multicultural Events Calendar, if any updates are required these must be made by Multicultural Affairs.

Please email details of any updates required to the Multicultural Affairs Events Team at MulticulturalEvents@sa.gov.au
