Your input helped shape the DCJ Multicultural Plan 2022 – 2025. Thank you.

Nine main themes come from the feedback that communities and organisations gave. We are asked to:

1. improve access to Information and Language Services
2. be more consistently culturally safe and religiously sensitive
3. further develop the cultural competence of people who provide services on our behalf and our staff
4. build and train up community leaders
5. fund multicultural services and programs for longer
6. better coordinate and communicate across DCJ and NSW Government
7. have more diversity in our leadership
8. better care for children and young people
9. improve what you think of us.

The DCJ Multicultural Plan 2022 – 2025 is a framework to embed in our work multicultural principles that are part of the law in New South Wales.

At DCJ, we want equity in our communities and justice system and to see and serve cultural and language needs as we develop policy and plan and deliver services to you.

The plan includes targets and strategies that we’ll measure and report on each year. This will help us to better serve all communities in our state, through:

• accessible services for people from diverse backgrounds
• modern, high quality programs and services
• our understanding of community needs in our work
• building our communities and workforce.
