Regional Victoria

Regional ethnic communities’ councils and ECCV members provide vital advocacy and support services for migrant and refugee communities across the state.

ECCV works closely with our regional and rural partners, who provide insights across our policy and project work.

We help build community capacity and coordinate statewide responses to issues impacting migrant and refugee communities across Victoria. We coordinate monthly regional CEO network meetings, convene workshops, and help advocate for regional and rural multicultural communities through meetings with the state and federal governments.

Greater collaboration and connections with the regions enabled a more coordinated response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are working together to improve emergency preparedness for floods, fires and other natural disasters.

We are committed to working with the regions to identify priorities and opportunities, strengthen statewide collaboration and community resilience and support stronger outcomes for regional migrant and refugee communities.
