The Mongolian community in Queensland is a proud, dynamic, and growing community of international students, families, professionals, and long-term residents who are passionate about preserving our cultural identity and supporting one another in Australia.
Through the leadership of the Mongolian Community Association of Queensland (MCAQ) and the dedication of our volunteers, we have built a strong foundation that connects Mongolians across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and beyond.
Our Vision
We believe in a strong, inclusive, and empowered Mongolian community that celebrates culture, supports each other, and contributes to the broader Australian society.
We welcome all Mongolians, friends of Mongolia, and supporters of diversity to join us as we continue to grow, thrive, and share our unique heritage with pride.
