Our History
Uniting Circle Multicultural Community Centre was established to meet the growing needs of culturally and linguistically diverse communities across Western Sydney. Founded by CEO Mujgan Tahery, the organisation was built on a vision of creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where individuals and families could access support, build meaningful connections and develop a strong sense of belonging.
From its early beginnings, Uniting Circle focused on supporting refugees, new arrivals, women and families through practical assistance, community programs and opportunities that foster inclusion and empowerment. As community needs evolved, the organisation expanded its services to include personalised NDIS support, Supported Independent Living (SIL), settlement assistance, education and skills development, counselling, community wellbeing initiatives and a wide range of multicultural programs.
Today, Uniting Circle is a trusted Australian not-for-profit organisation and registered NDIS provider, committed to empowering people of all backgrounds through compassionate, person-centred services. By celebrating diversity, building strong partnerships and creating opportunities for participation and growth, we continue to strengthen communities and make a lasting positive impact across Western Sydney.

We believe every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and cultural understanding. Our commitment is to provide high-quality support that empowers people to build confidence, strengthen independence and achieve their goals in a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.
Through collaboration, integrity and genuine care, we strive to build stronger communities where everyone has the opportunity to connect, participate and thrive.

Jamshid Tahery
Director & Founder
Jamshid Tahery
Director & Founder
Jamshid’s ability to remain calm, patient and compassionate in challenging situations is one of his greatest strengths. He works closely with participants, families, support workers and service providers to ensure every person receives safe, reliable and individualised support that reflects their needs, goals and choices.
Dignity and respect are at the heart of Jamshid’s work. He strongly believes that having a disability does not mean lacking ability; rather, every person possesses unique strengths, gifts and capabilities that may not be found in everyone. He considers these differences a blessing and is committed to helping each participant recognise their potential, build independence and live a meaningful life.
Through his leadership, experience and hands-on involvement, Jamshid helps ensure that Uniting Circle continues to deliver compassionate, culturally responsive and person-centred services to people with disability and their families.
