Bill Papastergiadis has taken on the top job that will see him lead the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC), an independent body that acts as conduit between Victoria’s multicultural communities and state government.
Outside of his legal work, Mr Papastergiadis has held a number of leadership positions in the local community, including but not limited to, chairman of South Melbourne Football Club, president of the Greek Community of Melbourne and Victoria, and founding director of The Hellenic Initiative, which facilitates the generosity of the Greek diaspora in Australia to support initiatives that enhance the lives of the people of Greece.
He’s also been an ambassador for the Ethnic Communities’ Council of Victoria 2021 “All One Together” anti-racism campaign and in 2019 was recognised for his service to the Greek community by being awarded the Order of Australia Medal.
“Bill’s legal, commercial and multicultural insights have been recognised with this appointment,” said Moray & Agnew’s national managing partner Geoff Connellan.
“I have no doubt he will bring a wealth of invaluable expertise as a Commissioner to this important organisation”.
Commenting on his recent appointment, Mr Papastergiadis said: “I strongly believe the richness of Victoria’s diverse multicultural communities is one of our greatest strengths as a state.
“I am honoured to play a part in advocating on behalf of all multicultural communities, and committed to continuing the good work of the Victorian Multicultural Commission in its valuable mission to help to strengthen the relationships of these communities with government and with each other.”
