Home to people from about 200 countries, speaking almost 250 languages and practising more than 125 different religions, South Australia is a truly multicultural state.

Through the 2022-23 State Budget, an additional $16million over four years was committed for grants and other programs to enrich our multicultural sector and strengthen our communities.
