Mission statement:	The Migration Council Australia (MCA) is an independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit body established to enhance the productive benefits of Australia’s migration and humanitarian programs. MCA brings together corporate Australia and the community sector to provide a national voice to advocate for effective settlement and migration programs. We believe that the success of the migration program is critical to Australia’s future prosperity. Assisting new migrants and refugees to settle is an investment in the future of the Australian community, our economy and our prospective workforce. Our aim is to promote greater understanding of migration and settlement and to foster the development of partnerships between corporate Australia, the community sector and Government. MCA will contribute to the process of public policy making and encourage the development of support services for new arrivals.
