ABOUT US
The Australian Iranian Community Council (AICC) is a registered not‑for‑profit, community‑led organisation representing Iranian‑Australians across the nation. We work collaboratively with government, industry, and community partners to promote integration, inclusion, cultural respect, and transparent governance. Through advocacy, capacity‑building, and strategic partnerships, AICC provides a trusted platform for registered Iranian‑Australian associations and groups to engage constructively with Australian institutions, strengthen community wellbeing, and contribute to a cohesive, democratic, and future‑ready Australia.
OUR VISION
AICC’s vision is to foster a confident, connected, and future‑focused Australian Iranian community that contributes meaningfully to Australia’s social, cultural, and civic life. We aspire to be a trusted, representative organisation that strengthens community wellbeing, promotes inclusion, and builds enduring partnerships across government, industry, and civil society. Through this vision, AICC seeks to empower individuals, celebrate cultural heritage, and support a cohesive and resilient community for generations to come.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to uphold and advance Australia’s democratic principles by promoting integration, inclusion, fairness, accountability, and active civic participation. We are committed to protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms, and to supporting the dignity, equality, and wellbeing of Iranian‑Australians through constructive engagement, community capacity‑building, and transparent, community‑led governance.
