National Multicultural Children’s Scoping Project – Childhood Sector Roundtable

Do you work in a sector that supports children and families, including government, public health, education, early childhood, or community services?

Do you want to contribute to improving experiences and outcomes for multicultural children and families across Australia?

If so, we welcome your participation in the National Multicultural Children’s Scoping Project – Childhood Sector Roundtable, an online consultation bringing together professionals and representatives from child-focused sectors to share their insights and perspectives.

You don't need to do any preparation - just join the 90-minute online conversation!

About the Childhood Sector Roundtable

The Childhood Sector Roundtable will bring together representatives from government, health, education, early childhood, community services and other child-focused sectors to explore the experiences, needs and strengths of multicultural children and their families when accessing health, wellbeing, education and related services across Australia.

The online roundtable will provide an opportunity to:

Share insights and experiences from across the childhood sector about the needs and experiences of multicultural children and families.
Identify barriers, service gaps and systemic challenges that may affect access to appropriate and effective support.
Explore opportunities to strengthen culturally responsive, accessible and child-centred approaches to health, wellbeing, education and early childhood development.
Consider how services, systems and policies can better respond to the diverse needs, strengths and aspirations of multicultural children and their families.
Discuss opportunities for collaboration across government, health, education, early childhood, community services and multicultural communities.

The insights gathered through the roundtable will contribute to the National Multicultural Children’s Scoping Project, helping inform an options paper and identify opportunities to strengthen support for multicultural children and their families across Australia.

About the National Multicultural Children’s Scoping Project

Despite making up a significant and growing part of Australia’s population, multicultural children can be underrepresented in policy discussions, research, data collection, service design and advocacy.

SSI, in partnership with the Investment Dialogues for Australia’s Children (IDAC), is undertaking a national consultation to better understand the needs, strengths and aspirations of multicultural children and families, and to identify opportunities to improve their experiences and outcomes.

Join the Conversation

Your expertise, experience and perspective can help shape the conversation about what could work better for multicultural children and families. By sharing your insights, you can contribute to identifying practical opportunities for services, systems and policies to better respond to their needs.
