Our mission

Make local Muslim life easier to navigate.

Finding reliable local information can take time. Details are often scattered across social media, websites, group chats and word of mouth. Muslims ACT brings that information together in one simple place designed for the Canberra Muslim community.

01

Connect people with local places

Help residents, students, families and visitors discover nearby food, prayer and community services.

02

Make information clearer

Present important details consistently so people can compare options and make informed choices.

03

Strengthen community awareness

Give local organisations and community members another way to share events, updates and useful information.

What Muslims ACT offers

Three everyday needs, one local app.

MACT is being built around the information Canberra Muslims commonly need while eating out, planning prayer and staying connected.

How we are building it

Useful first. Honest about the details.

Muslims ACT is an independent community technology project. Information is reviewed and sourced where possible, with clear context around important details.

Canberra first

A focused local product rather than a broad directory with limited ACT detail.

Clear context

Important information should show what is known, where it came from and what still needs confirmation.

Community feedback

Local knowledge helps identify missing places, outdated details and upcoming events.

Respectful technology

The product is built to be simple, accessible and mindful of user privacy.
