Ethnic Community Organisations
Federation of Ethnic Communities' Councils of Australia (FECCA)
http://www.fecca.org.au/default.cfm
Established in 1979, FECCA is the national peak body for Australia’s multicultural communities. It is the national voice of Australians from non-English speaking backgrounds and those who see their ethnicity as an essential ingredient in the making of modern multicultural Australia. FECCA promotes multiculturalism as the social policy that best ensures fair opportunities for all Australians within the framework of our democratic traditions. FECCA seeks to represent the interests and concerns of ethnic Australians through:
* formulation of relevant policies
* representation to Government
* participation in public debate
* consultation with industry, unions, professions and community organisations
* seminars, conferences and community education.
FECCA monitors a wide range of issues including: social welfare; employment; language policy and immigration. FECCA works to ensure that programs devised by governments are fair and responsive to the interests of the whole Australian community, including those from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
