Pre-Budget Submission 2023-24
ECCV’s Pre-Budget Submission 2023-24 calls on the state government to enact a long-term vision for Victoria that is creative and resilient, capable of anticipating and responding to the needs and challenges facing our increasingly diverse communities.
In recent years, the state government has boosted funding to help the multicultural sector address a raft of challenges including climate disasters, COVID-19, and the social and economic inequalities exposed or exacerbated by the pandemic. However, it is not sustainable to respond reactively in times of crisis.
With the rising cost of living and global crises continuing to impact on our economic, health and service systems, the government must be more strategic in its response to the needs of our growing multicultural society.
Our submission outlines targeted investments across 16 key areas, with a focus on strengthening the under-resourced and under-valued multicultural sector. At the heart of our submission is the call for a Multicultural Strategy that takes a whole-of-government approach to engaging and supporting multicultural communities.
