FECCA Annual Report 2019-20
FECCA continued to build the evidence base of priorities for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. As migration into regional and rural locations increases, FECCA has ensured a focus of its consultations has been on people and communities who call rural and regional Australia their home. Each city or town consulted by FECCA has a different history of diversity and other factors (eg. a supportive state and local government, location, proximity to city, etc.) that contribute to the current level of social cohesion. FECCA developed a 2019 Consultation Report in which findings are explored in more detail.
In addition to consultations with migrant and refugee communities, FECCA engaged with members across Australia. FECCA met with and conducted interviews with members in Hunter Valley, Darwin, Brisbane, Melbourne, Shepparton and Perth on issues related to access and equity to government services for people from CALD backgrounds.
