Regional Development

Over the past decade, regional development has resulted in increased settlement of new arrivals in regional South Australia, with regional MRCs and their networks providing support for sustainable settlement and employment of families across the Limestone Coast, the Murraylands and the Riverland. The Regional Multicultural Communities Council consists of a network of MRCs and other local regional forums. Together we identify, and initiate, resettlement, job opportunities and social participation in South Australian regional areas.

Northern Area MRC
Northern Area MRC is a multipurpose centre servicing newly arrived humanitarian entrants and other migrants residing in the Salisbury, Playford and Tea Tree Gully council districts.
