DHHS Cultural Diversity Plan 2016-2019
The Victorian government has released the first cultural diversity plan for the new Department of Health and Human Services: Delivering for diversity: cultural diversity plan 2016–2019. The plan recognises that providing culturally responsive, competent, respectful and accessible services is a core responsibility of the department and the services it funds and delivers, outlines priorities and key actions for responding to cultural and linguistic diversity across the range of departmental services, and will be supplemented with annual action plans.
