“Multicultural groups throughout South Australia are a real focal point for communities,” said Nadia Clancy, State Minister for Multicultural Affairs.

“The South Australian Government recognises the important role they play in supporting people to come together and celebrate their language, traditions and culture.

Applications are open now and close on 31 July.
