Rhodes Multicultural Community Association
Bringing Cultures Together.

Building Community.

We are the Rhodes Multicultural Community Association, dedicated to fostering inclusion through cultural celebration, education, businesses and family support for every resident.

Our Story

The Rhodes Multicultural Community Association (RMCA) was founded on Australia Day, 2014 - born from a simple gathering of local women who came together to dance, exercise, and support one another.

Before RMCA existed, a group of Chinese-speaking women in Rhodes had been meeting informally for over a year under the name Hua Yi - about 30 of them, dancing and exercising together most nights of the week. That spirit of connection became the foundation for something bigger: a formal association committed to celebrating multiculturalism across the Rhodes Peninsula. Hua Yi is now proudly incorporated within RMCA.

A Community For Everyone

What started with Hua Yi has grown into a diverse, welcoming association open to all. We warmly encourage Rhodes residents - whether born in Australia or anywhere else in the world - to join us and help make Rhodes an even better place to live.

We celebrate cultural diversity, support campaigns for social justice and equity, and build genuine friendships across our community. Our members dance and exercise together most nights of the week, and we've performed at community events across Rhodes, Wentworth Point, and Meadowbank

What We Do

Community Activities

RMCA provides regular activities that encourage people to stay active, meet others and become involved in their local community.

Activities may include dance, exercise, music, cultural performances, social gatherings and community information sessions.

English-Language Support

Our Basic English classes help residents develop everyday language skills, build confidence and participate more fully in community life.

Cultural Festivals

RMCA is proud to help deliver some of Rhodes’ most popular cultural celebrations, including the Rhodes Lunar New Year Festival and Rhodes Moon Festival.

These events bring thousands of residents and visitors together to experience cultural performances, food, traditions, entertainment and activities for the whole family.

Supporting Community Connection

Our programs are designed to support people of different ages and backgrounds, including families, seniors, new residents and people who may otherwise experience social isolation.

Volunteering

RMCA is powered by dedicated volunteers. Volunteering provides an opportunity to contribute your skills, make friends and help create meaningful activities and celebrations for the community.
