Connecting Gold Coast communities with opportunity.
One free day at Southport Sharks where employment, education, health, legal and community services meet the people who need them.
Connecting the Gold Coast’s multicultural communities with services, programs, and pathways to opportunity.
The Gold Coast Multicultural Expo exists to close the gap between the services people need and the people who don't know those services exist. It isn't a cultural festival and it isn't entertainment — it's a working day built around three things: information, access and engagement.
Entry is free, and the whole event is designed for the Gold Coast's culturally and linguistically diverse communities to walk in without a barrier at the door.
Everyone is welcome here.
The Gold Coast Multicultural Expo is built to be accessible from the ground up.
Families are welcome. A kids corner with crafts will be available, and baby-change facilities will be on site.
If there's something you need in order to attend comfortably, email us before the day and we'll arrange what we can.
Find the support, programs, and opportunities that matter to you.
