Australian Multiculturalism Survey Findings Report
2023 marked 50 years since the introduction of multicultural policy in Australia. In recognition of this, the Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia (FECCA) sought to undertake a comprehensive reflection on the current state of multiculturalism from the perspective of people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. Focusing on aspects related to social cohesion, sense of belonging, community participation, and encounters with racism and discrimination, FECCA captured valuable insights that will inform the ongoing development of Australian multicultural policy. In particular, the research addresses both indicators of success and areas of concern for future policy initiatives aiming to foster a more cohesive and inclusive multicultural Australia.
