At QACC, our mission goes beyond representation; it’s about creating a vibrant, inclusive, and thriving community where every African Australian can realize their potential and contribute meaningfully to Queensland’s multicultural mosaic.
The Queensland African Communities Council (QACC) is a pivotal not-for-profit umbrella organization, representing over 80,000 African individuals and communities throughout Queensland. Since its inception in 2003, QACC has stood as a united voice and a cornerstone for collective development, fostering cultural, skill, and business advancement among African communities and individuals in Queensland.
Recognizing the diverse paths of our members’ journeys to Australia – encompassing refugees, skilled immigrants, family reunions, and international students – QACC celebrates the shared rich cultural diversity, skills, innovation, and strong work ethic intrinsic to our communities. The establishment of QACC was driven by a profound understanding that working collectively to address common issues and opportunities, and promoting our capacities and strengths, is paramount for full participation and flourishing within Queensland’s diverse landscape.
QACC is deeply committed to empowering every member of our community. We strive to facilitate access to better opportunities, enabling individuals to enjoy the high quality of life that Australia offers, while continuing to be productive and valued members of the Australian family. This commitment to community empowerment and cultural integration has been recognized through multiple accolades, including the prestigious 2013 Queensland Multicultural Award in the Not-for-Profit Community Organisation-Greater Brisbane category.
