The MRCSA provides its client groups with free access to a number of facilities so that they can participate in the community development programs and activities.

King William Street Resource Centre
Located within the central office of the MRCSA, the centre provides a venue for homework groups of young people and enables community members to access computer facilities for the preparation of assignments and job applications, as well as their community’s activities. This venue is also used by client groups requiring IT and administrative support provided by the MRCSA, as well as students and other services to access resources on multiculturalism, immigration and settlement for their research.

Crèche
A professional childcare service is provided to MRCSA clients so that they can access the services that they require, attend information and training sessions, and participate in relevant programs and activities. The crèche is located within the central office of the MRCSA and in its Coglin Street Community Centre and is staffed by a qualified childcare worker. The crèche also provides work experience programs for bilingual women from new and emerging community client groups.

Coglin Street Community Centre
Centrally located within the central market precinct of the Adelaide CBD, the centre is a joint enterprise between the MRCSA and the Adelaide City Council and a vibrant and innovative multicultural hub of activity which in 2006/2007 attracted the participation of over 30,000 users from over 110 diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. A number of new and emerging community organisations are also residents of the Centre. Community groups not able to access the centre due to booking restrictions are assisted by the MRCSA to find an alternative venue.

Local Community Facilities
The MRCSA works in partnership with Local government, established ethnic community organisations and church groups to find alternative venues for new and emerging community activities according to their needs.
