AIM Multicultural Partner Program

About the Program

The AIM Multicultural Partner Program is a collaboration model designed to help ethnic, cultural and community organisations create or enhance their own awards, while giving their winners a direct pathway into the national AIM Talent Awards or AIM Business Awards.

Each community keeps full control of its event — AIM simply provides guidance, tools and support to ensure their awards run smoothly and professionally.

Supporting Community Awards. Celebrating Cultural Diversity. Building a National Multicultural Platform.
