CALD and Multicultural Service Provider Network
SLSNSW works with many external CALD and multicultural service providers from across NSW. These service providers deliver support and give expert insights into the development and provision of multicultural targeted programs and resources geared towards key safety concerns outlined in SLSNSW coastal safety reports, such as rip current and rock fishing safety. These networks also support our engagement with specific communities along the coastline and across NSW and promote SLSNSW community education programs and resources to these target communities.
You can use this network to:
- Identify at-risk multicultural communities in specific coastal locations
- Promote programs, events or resources to specific community groups
- Provide advice and support with engaging specific cultural groups
- Provide contacts and linkage with local multicultural groups and communities.
CALD Water Safety Committees
The SLSNSW CALD Water Safety Committees draw on the cultural and local area demographics, knowledge and expertise of their members and communities. They support, promote and advocate for new initiatives and programs targeting CALD communities within their local areas and the areas in which their communities congregate.
Current active committees include:
- South East Sydney CALD Water Safety Committee
- South Western Sydney CALD Water Safety Committee
- Western Sydney CALD Water Safety Committee.
SLSNSW CALD Coastal Water Safety Reference and Advisory Group
The SLSNSW CALD Coastal Water Safety Reference and Advisory Group is an independent body that draws on its members’ cultural and geographical diversity, expertise and real-life experiences to work towards engagement in future SLSNSW plans. They support and assist the development of SLSNSW community education programs and collateral through the process of expert review, feedback and insights. They also empower and engage the CALD, migrant and refugee communities from across NSW by directly involving them in workshopping, trialling and reviewing programs and content along the whole development journey.
