The mission of AFIC is to provide service to the community in a manner that is in accordance with the teachings of Islam and within the framework of Australian law. To advocate on behalf of the Muslim community on all such matters that will affect the community's relevance, settlement and integration within Australian society. The main role of AFIC is to represent Islam and Muslims of Australia as one "Ummah" to the government and other bodies nationally and internationally. AFIC coordinates and provides resources for activities of its State Islamic Councils and member Islamic societies.

An exciting and unique centre to show case the rich artistic heritage and historical contributions of Muslims in Australia and abroad. Fascinating stories, interactive displays, and exquisite art exhibits will provide an insight into the Australian Muslim experience for tourists, school groups and other visitors. It is a newly established organisation and is expecting to launch in 2013 in Thornbury, Melbourne.

Waleed Aly argues that Muslims don't have a problem with Christian celebrations.
