Minister for Multiculturalism Fiona Simpson said partnering with the NRL club sets up a great start to Multicultural Queensland Month celebrations.
"In Queensland, sport is part of who we are. It unites people of all backgrounds and builds bridges between cultures, generations and communities - strengthening social cohesion and creating a real sense of belonging," Minister Simpson said.
"The Gold Coast Titans have a strong connection with their community and a broad supporter base, making this an invaluable opportunity to share the message of inclusion, participation and community spirit with audiences across Queensland.
"The Crisafulli Government is committed to breaking down barriers for our multicultural communities and building a stronger, more connected Queensland where everyone has the opportunity to fully participate in our way of life."
Gold Coast Titans Chairman Dennis Watt said the club was proud to support an initiative which celebrates the diversity and unity of Queensland communities.
"Rugby league continues to be a powerful vehicle to unite cultures, backgrounds and generations, and we see every day how sport can bring communities together through shared experiences and connections," Watt said.
"This partnership and our upcoming clash against the Warriors on the Gold Coast is an opportunity to celebrate the rich multicultural fabric that makes Queensland such a vibrant place to live.
"We look forward to using our platform to help promote inclusion, participation and community spirit throughout the month of celebrations."
This year’s Multicultural Queensland Month theme - Get amongst it! - encourages Queenslanders to connect with their communities, support local events and take part in the celebrations happening across the state throughout August.
Alongside the Multicultural Queensland Month festivities, the Titans will also feature a number of US-themed activations together with NFL Australia and New Zealand as part of a huge Super Saturday at Cbus Super Stadium.
