The Australian Government is investing $1.3 million over 3 years from 2025-26 to support Independent Multicultural Media Australia (IMMA).
The purpose of the grant is to:

- foster and enhance advocacy efforts for the multicultural media sector, including research, developing policy recommendations and working with the Government to address sector-specific issues
