Last week I had the privilege of visiting Parliament House to represent Maroondah Indian Community, after an invitation to meet Evan Mulholland MP, Shadow Minister for Multicultural and Multifaith Affairs.

It was my first time meeting him, and what stayed with me was how humble and easy to talk to he was. He listened properly, asked about our families and what we run here in Maroondah, and gave us his time without watching the clock.

MIC does not sit on any side of politics, and that has not changed. But when someone wants to understand our community and how we can work together, we are always happy to have that conversation.

Grateful for the invitation and for the chance to talk about our people.

Rashi Mujoo and I were at Maroondah City Council's Community Grants night at Karralyka Centre today night, in a room full of people quietly holding this city together.

Council has backed MIC's wellbeing initiative. Twelve Sunday mornings in Ringwood from October, looking at food, movement, sleep and stress, with a group of people doing it alongside you. Too many of us only deal with our health after something goes wrong. We want to change that.

Thank you Cr Daniella Heatherich, Cr Linda Hancock, Cr Chris Jones and Cr Rob Steane, Adam Cooper, Joanna Wood and the community development team at City of Maroondah. Good to meet Sawm Suante from Migrant Information Centre and Lillie Giang from The Food Affectionist, both recognised on the night as well.

Expressions of interest are open: https://wellbeing.MICommunity.com.au

This program is proudly supported by Maroondah City Council through the Annual Community Grants Program 2026–2027.

Thank you for the Committee members and Community members who supported this initiatives thus far 🙏
