The ICV is the peak body for Muslim Organisations in Victoria

The Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) is the peak Muslim body representing an estimated 200,000 Victoria Muslims and over 70 member societies. ICV offer advocacy and social welfare services while leading state and national initiatives on cohesion and harmony through community consultations and advice to Government. It has experience in building meaningful engagements, partnerships and projects with over 70 organisations (Muslim and non-Muslim) including over 20 Multifaith and Multicultural groups.

We aim to fulfill this vision through:

 

• Representation of Muslims in Victoria through advocacy, consultation and cooperation with governments, other faith communities, service providers, the media, and the general public.
• Promotion of an accurate, informed and positive understanding of Islam, Muslims, and issues important to Muslims.
• Advocacy with respect to the civil rights of all Australians.
• Promotion of understanding, cooperation, tolerance and respect between all faiths.
• Empowerment and encouragement of the Muslim community to continue to be actively, responsibly and positively integrated into mainstream Australian society.
• Provision of special services to improve the welfare of disadvantaged groups in the Muslim community.
• Development of capacity within the Muslim community in areas of expertise to facilitate this vision.
• Facilitation of cooperation, unity, and positive working relationships within the Muslim community, and between the Muslim community and the broader community.
