Welcome to our website!
The Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland (ECCQ) was established in 1976 to represent the interests of the many people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD) who are part of the broad social community of Queensland, and to promote multiculturalism. It is a not-for-profit, community-based State peak organization. ECCQ contributes to national policy and debate on all matters concerning ethnic communities and multiculturalism through its affiliation with the Canberra-based Federation of Ethnic Communities Councils of Australia (FECCA).ECCQ's Mission is to ensure "that all people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds have equal access to services and can fully participate in all aspects of a cohesive and harmonious Queensland". ECCQ's activities and services encompass advocacy; community development initiatives; statewide health programs; support groups; cross cultural training; multicultural policy development and research and a resource and reference library.
Strengthening Ethnic Community Associations
(SECA) Project ECCQ has received funding from Department of Communities, as part of the Strengthening NGOs Strategy to undertake a project of Strengthening Ethnic Community Associations (SECA) across Queensland.
The SECA project aims to assist ethnic community associations to develop the knowledge and skills required to function efficiently and to effectively meet their goals.
The following critical needs in regards to strengthening ethnic communities and associations have been identified:
* The need for professional support to establish and maintain ethnic community associations. * Many migrants and refugees have little or no knowledge of the way associations must function in Australia in order to sustain themselves, to articulate their needs, to secure resources, and to participate generally in our democracy.
