South Australia launches its first multicultural charter

·

South Australia’s vibrant and culturally diverse society is being recognised with the launch of the first South Australian Multicultural Charter.

The Multicultural Charter acknowledges the state’s culturally diverse history and provides six principles to promote a unified, harmonious and inclusive South Australian community that values, respects and supports diversity.

The Malinauskas government launched on Thursday the inaugural Multicultural Charter in Parliament as a key part of bringing the South Australian Multicultural Act 2021 to life for all South Australians.

The Multicultural Charter will guide South Australian government agencies, organisations, institutions, businesses and communities, and be a foundation for all South Australian service delivery, policy and program development, by placing cultural diversity at the heart of decision making.

The Multicultural Charter was developed in consultation with a working group that includes South Australian Multicultural Commission members along with representatives from leading multicultural organisations, universities, government, and through wide public consultation.

“Today is a historic day for our State and our multicultural communities. We all have a responsibility to continue to build a culturally connected community,” the SA Premier Peter Malinauskas said.

“I encourage South Australian organisations to promote the Multicultural Charter within their community and networks and to ensure the principles are at the heart of their decision making.

“The Charter belongs to all South Australians.”

Chair of the South Australian Multicultural Commission, Adriana Christopoulos, said the Multicultural Charter builds on our strong commitment to multiculturalism and introducing interculturalism.
