2005 Symposium

The Community Relations Commission is legislated to consult systematically and widely with our culturally, religiously, linguistically and racially diverse community in the pursuit of its objectives. As part of this responsibility, the Commission held a Symposium on 21 June 2005 in Parramatta.

Over two hundred and fifty delegates from community, religious, academic and private sector organisations participated in the event. The Symposium provided a key opportunity for community workers to network and for organisations to showcase community initiatives in the area of multicultural affairs.

The community views expressed and reported on at the Symposium provided the Commission with further insight into priority issues for community organisations working in the area of multicultural affairs and/or with specific linguistic, cultural and religious communities.

The program, media releases relating to the Symposium, and speeches are available as listed below.
