The Federation of Ethnic Communities' Councils says its exclusion from the lock up is a worrying indication of the government's attitude to multicultural communities.
The council is also calling for an additional $60 million to be allocated to Tourism Australia to better compete with other countries.
International aid groups have also made pre-budget submissions demanding levels of foreign aid be boosted.
Plan International has recommended the amount be restored to 0.7 per cent of gross national income and fund the new loan scheme for infrastructure in the Pacific separately from the overseas aid budget.
What the government has and hasn't funded will be revealed publicly on Tuesday at 7.30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time.
