Chaired by Nick Kaldas APM, the Multicultural NSW Advisory Board provides advice and guidance on a range of matters relating to culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

The passion for their communities will be enormously beneficial to ensuring future generations can enjoy the rich social fabric of our great state.”
