The Office of Multicultural Interests (OMI) Community Grants Program (CGP) provides funding to enable culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities in Western Australia to design, deliver and partner on projects that address their needs.
Applications to the CGP are assessed by an independent panel of community representatives and public sector officers who make recommendations for funding to the Minister for Multicultural Interests.
The panel member positions are voluntary and members are selected based on an Expression of Interest (EOI) process from suitably qualified CaLD community leaders who would like the opportunity to assist in assessing applications for funding to support CaLD community associations working on projects that benefit CaLD communities. Out of pocket expenses (such as parking) incurred in participating in an assessment panel will be covered.
The EOI for the current CGP assessment panel was undertaken in 2025 and members were appointed for a 3-year term.
The next EOI for CGP assessment panel membership will be advertised in due course.
