VCOSS Disaster Recovery Conversation: Culturally and linguistically diverse communities in disaster recovery

The VCOSS Disaster Recovery Conversation series provides an opportunity for leaders, staff and volunteers of community and social service organisations to network and gain access to in depth expert knowledge on topical issues relating to emergencies and disasters.

The purpose of this month's Conversation is to identify and explore priority issues in emergency and disaster recovery for culturally and linguistically diverse people and communities, to share recent research and practice, and to have your questions answered.

Speakers include:

• Bwe Thay, Victorian Multicultural Commission Deputy Chair

• Kaye Graves and Ma Paw, Bendigo Community Health Services

• Sue Ingleton, CEO North East Multicultural Alliance

• Sally Carlton and Shirley Wright, CLING New Zealand who will discuss recovery for diverse communities from the Canterbury earthquakes and the Christchurch mosque attack.
  

Auslan interpreters will be booked for this event.

VCOSS is the peak representative body for Victoria’s social and community sector, and the state’s leading social advocacy organisation.

We work towards creating a Victoria that is fair, just and inclusive. A society where nobody is trapped by poverty, and everybody is supported to live a life of wellbeing.
