MCC (Multicultural Community Centre) is a charitable organisation that assists the needs of Brisbane's culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community in Newmarket and the wider Brisbane community.

MCC currently provides a number of services including accredited training (in partnership with various RTOs), literacy programs and job preparation assistance - all at no cost to participants.

The Multicultural Community Centre (MCC) was established in 1989, in Chinatown, to meet needs of Brisbane's Culturally And Linguistically Diverse (CALD) community, in the specific local communities of Newmarket and in the wider Brisbane community.

MCC was formally incorporated in 1996 and operates as a charitable organisation (a public benevolent institution).  MCC targets migrants, the disadvantaged, the poor and the elderly. MCC is actively involved in combating any forms of racism and acts as an advocate and liaison body where government and non-government bodies are concerned. It also actively promotes multiculturalism and cultural maintenance of traditions, language and customs.
