Who We Are
Fossung Multicultural and Education Services (FMAES) is a community-based charity committed to creating opportunities for children, young people, families and culturally diverse communities. Established in 2022, we work to reduce barriers to education, participation and community connection, helping people build the skills, confidence and support they need to thrive.

Our work has grown to include education support, youth development, digital inclusion, family and community programs, and practical assistance. We deliver programs across Ipswich, Logan and surrounding communities, working alongside families, volunteers, schools, community organisations and local services.

At the heart of FMAES is a commitment to listening and responding to community needs. Through practical, inclusive and accessible programs, we create opportunities for people to learn, connect, participate and build brighter futures.
