Victoria’s multicultural population is a reality that offers significant social and economic potential. Community languages are a valuable economic resource. Victoria’s workforce is missing out on the full advantage of its culturally diverse labour resource. State budget initiatives that support training and retention of a culturally diverse workforce would contribute to a strong and competitive economy.
This submission makes key recommendations that address:
- Regional settlement
- Health and wellbeing
