Multicultural programs
We are committed to supporting all Victorians.
We understand that traditional family structures are diverse and we believe in strengthening families and supporting people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to have positive, safe and respectful relationships.
We provide services that cater to community needs, including by tailoring services to meet the needs of the client groups with which we work. Our staff endeavour to work with members of diverse communities to provide information and assistance on a whole range of family issues.
In collaboration with many organisations across the state, we coordinate workshops, forums, meetings, networks and support groups to meet the growing needs of Victoria's multicultural communities.
We are committed to providing access to our services for both established and emerging migrant communities in both metropolitan and regional Victoria.
We can organise interpreters on request.
Please let us know when you contact us to organise a service, if you will need an interpreter.

The workshop brought together community leaders from a range of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, with a focus on how they could take this knowledge back to their communities and lead meaningful conversations.
