ABOUT AMCS

Australian Multicultural Community Services (AMCS) is a multicultural community care organisation that has been serving Victorian seniors for over 40 years. Its mission is to improve lives through care, support and empowerment, with a vision for an equitable, just and compassionate multicultural society. AMCS provides a wide range of services including home care packages, social support for seniors, access and support services, carer support, and community engagement projects.

AMCS has a of workforce of approximately 296 paid staff members proficient in 45 different languages and representative of over 50 different countries, and over 100 volunteers.

Over recent years, AMCS has experienced significant growth in service delivery, with revenue going from $14 million in 2019 to $38 million in 2024. During this time the AMCS has also undertaken major digital transformation initiatives. However, the organisation has faced challenges, particularly workforce shortages affecting its ability to support the increasing number of clients choosing AMCS as their preferred provider and with continued change and challenges to the aged care sector as the federal government implements the Support at Home reform.

Looking to the future, and the recent launch of our new strategy, we are on a journey to better serve ageing Victorians with a combination of growth and enabling initiatives that will better integrate and improve existing services to more people in need.
