Support • Connection • Opportunity • Belonging TMC is a not-for-profit community-based organisation that provides services, assistance and support to migrants in the areas of settlement, social participation and employment. Through Government-funded projects and initiatives, TMC provides assistance with job search and employment preparation; settlement assistance for newly-arrived migrants and ref
ugees. Social inclusion is a critical factor in the successful integration of migrants and TMC promotes and participates in community events involving more than 40 different ethnic-cultural-faith-special interest groups on the Gold Coast and south-east Queensland.
The Centre is managed by a small professional team and assisted by permanent volunteers and a pool of on-call volunteers. TMC’s staff are Australian-born and from migrant backgrounds, each one with their own migrant experience and multilingual ability. Since incorporation in 2001, TMC has walked in the shoes of migrants, shared their experiences and hardships, witnessed their high moments and bad times. Over the years, TMC has received countless messages and letters from clients who have expressed their gratitude to TMC for voicing their concerns, advocating on their behalf, assisting in a range of areas from very difficult issues such as domestic violence to small tasks such as form filling. TMC has its finger on the pulse of the multicultural community on the Gold Coast.
