Have Your Say Survey: Multicultural Peak Body Review
The Have Your Say Survey for the Multicultural Peak Body Review is now available.
The Northern Territory Government is committed to fostering the prosperity of diverse communities throughout the region. To achieve this goal, the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) is currently conducting a comprehensive review of the services provided by the Multicultural Community Services of Central Australia (MCSCA) and the Multicultural Council of the Northern Territory (MCNT).
By analysing the outcomes of this review, the Northern Territory Government aims to gain valuable insights into the effectiveness of existing services, identifying areas of success and pinpointing areas that require additional support.
This strategic evaluation will serve as a foundation for informed decision-making, guiding funding allocation towards programs and services that will yield optimal outcomes for multicultural communities across the Territory.
Minister's Advisory Council on Multicultural Affairs
The Office of Multicultural Affairs of Territory Families Housing and Communities would like to advise that the committee met on 6 December 2023 for their final meeting of the year.
We thank the committee members for a great year in 2023.
