Phoenix Westgate Migrant Centre is a non-profit and government funded organisation. We were formerly known as Migrant Resource Centre Westgate Region (MRCWR). We were also commonly referred as Westgate Migrant Resource Centre (WMRC) by the community.
Our centre was established in 1973 as a specialist service agency for residents with diverse ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds living in Williamstown, Altona, Point Cook, Werribee and surrounding areas.
In 1992, our centre joined the Migrant Resource Centre (MRC) Program, which opened up a new and dynamic chapter in our long history. In nearly fourty years of our existence, our centre has grown and has become a central point for new migrants in need of assistance and support with a diverse range of settlement matters. We are also a key community organisation among other community service providers in the City of Hobson's Bay.
