Please understand that we are a volunteer-based activist group and do not have a dedicated administrator. The best way of communicating with the decision makers of our group is to come to one of our fortnightly organising meetings.

Donate to MAIC!

Support what we do by transferring some money into our bank account.

MAIC is incredibly short of funds which means we don't get to do all we would like to do. Things like printing promotional material and paying for guest speakers to come down from the Northern Territory.

MAIC is not funded by any government bodies or other community groups - we rely on donations and volunteer time to do what we do. Support us!
