Services
The CRC offers a number of services designed to better link the 'community of communities' in NSW.
Community Development Grants
The Community Development Grants Program offer financial support to not-for-profit community organisations. The aim of the program is to encourage the participation of people from culturally diverse communities in all aspects of life in New South Wales. Projects are funded on a competitive basis.
Community Language Allowance Scheme
The New South Wales Government's Community Language Allowance Scheme ( CLAS ) is a fundamental tool in the provision of high quality customer service in a culturally diverse society. CLAS is an allowance paid to selected NSW public sector employees who have a basic level of competency in a language other than English and who work in locations where their language can be used to assist clients.
EmailLink
EmailLink is a fast and effective email distribution service providing direct delivery of information and messages to specific target audiences. Email Link facilitates direct connection with specific culturally diverse community groups, leaders and individuals in NSW.
Interpreting and Translation
The CRC is the NSW Governments main language service provider. The CRC provides interpreting and translation services in over 85 languages and dialects. Services are available to all Government departments and agencies, private and commercial organisations, community groups and individuals.
More details of our Language Services, including Schedule of Fees and how to book an interpreter, are available via the menu options on the left under Interpreting & Translation.
