Today marks World Refugee Day, when we celebrate the positive contributions made by displaced peoples. Leppington has provided a new home to refugees for decades. Those refugees have gone on to contribute immeasurably to our nation in fields as wide-ranging as medicine, academia, business, and sport. The Western Sydney Migrant Resource Centre [MRC] has been the key organisation championing the needs and aspirations of refugees in south-west Sydney since it was established in 1979. Western Sydney MRC provides a range of services and programs based on its clients' and the community's needs and wants. As a former chair and director, I may be biased, but I commend everyone who has been involved in this amazing organisation over the past 44 years: staff, board, volunteers and stakeholders. It is often said that Australia is the most successful multicultural nation on earth. This does not come about organically. It is due, in no small part, to the effort of settlement services organisations such as Western Sydney MRC.
