Auburn and surrounding suburbs is home to an extraordinary number of people from diverse backgrounds. The immediate electorate is one of the most multicultural in Australia. In the Auburn CBD, it's nothing to say hello in Arabic, Somali, Turkish, Persian, Mandarin and English.  Michael Jeremy and family have worked in Auburn since the 70's and been part of the changes in the area.

In conjunction with Migration Alliance, Michael Jeremy is hosting a Migration Alliance "Immigration Clinic" at 35 Norval Street Auburn (opposite Auburn Hospital on the corner of Hevington Road).

Consultation will be free of charge to residents who arrived in Australia as part of any Humanitarian program. The clinic will be open Tuesday and Thursday from 0900 to 1200 hours from 26 August 2014.
