​​Covid 19 Lockdown & International Students
Starting from March 2020, Multicultural Social Network  assisted more than 200 international students for about half  a year who were stranded in Gold Coast due to the Covid-19. During the lockdown, all the international students lost their jobs as they were engaged in hospitality industry. There weren't any Government financial support for these international students, so they had to depend on private organisations to help them with their meals, daily necessities and other personal products.  Multicultural Social Network provided weekly food hampers consisting of bread, vegetables, fruits, biscuits, eggs, noodles, rice etc  and also supplied weekly warm meals. Moreover, Multicultural Social Network arranged distribution of personal hygiene products, toiletries, sanitary items etc​
