Women’s Activities
Connection & Wellbeing
The ICV runs culturally responsive programs that promote wellbeing, confidence and social connection for Muslim and culturally diverse women and their children — creating welcoming spaces where women can build friendships, skills and a stronger sense of belonging.
What our programs look like
Recent programs have included free Mums & Bubs playgroups, bringing women and young children together to connect, play and share experiences with the support of skilled facilitators providing culturally and linguistically specific assistance, and family excursions and community dinners that have helped newly arrived families — including families arriving from Palestine — explore Melbourne, ease the isolation of resettlement and build lasting community bonds. Transport, meals and activities are often provided so that events are fully accessible.
Get involved
Current women’s programs and registrations are announced on the ICV’s website and social channels. Women interested in volunteering with or helping shape future programs are warmly encouraged to contact the ICV.
