Message from Hon Roger Cook MLA
Premier of Western Australia
The Western Australian Multicultural Awards is an opportunity to shine a light on the contributions and achievements of worthy nominees, each with unique backgrounds, experiences, skills and achievements.
What these award winners have in common is a shared passion and dedication to promoting multiculturalism and supporting culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities of Western Australia.
Whether you have visited the Welcome Walls in Fremantle, experienced the incredible atmosphere of a vibrant culturally diverse festival like Diwali or made businesses or trade connections that opened the door to a broader global network, it is clear that
cultural and linguistic diversity is an integral component of Western Australia’s identity.
Our society’s rich cultural mosaic is made up of people from a range of cultures, traditions, beliefs and heritage, which offers the chance for everyone to share and benefit from these diverse perspectives.
Through avenues such as business, education, health and sport, the many contributions of our culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities are an invaluable part of Western Australia’s success.
The Cook Labor Government regards cultural diversity as a source of great strength and something that deserves to be proudly celebrated.
The Western Australian Multicultural Awards allow us to honour outstanding achievements of individuals and organisations whose work in the areas of leadership, art and community service is positively impacting CaLD communities and highlighting the immense
and wide-reaching value of multiculturalism in WA.
I would like to thank everyone who selflessly offers their energy, time and talents to invest in the growth of our CaLD communities and advocate for multiculturalism in Western Australia. Your commitment and efforts are much appreciated, respected and
admired.
I commend all the nominees and winners of the 2025 Western Australia Multicultural Awards.
This is a celebration for not only the well-deserving award winners but also all Western Australians, with their incredible efforts helping to pave the way for future generations to continue to thrive as part of the flourishing CaLD communities of Western
Australia
