The NMC Scoping Project is a national consultation – coordinated by SSI – that’s listening to children, families and communities across Australia to understand what multicultural children need to thrive.

Australia’s children are becoming more culturally diverse every year, and multicultural communities bring extraordinary strength and contribution to our country. Despite this, multicultural children are often left out of the conversations, research and decisions that shape the services meant to support them.

Visit the SSI’s National Multicultural Children Scoping Project page to find out how to get involved including through surveys, online conversations, and consultations across every state and territory, in the places families already know and trust. This includes community hubs, playgroups, schools, early learning centres, cultural events, sport and recreation spaces, and local community organisations.

The National Multicultural Children Scoping Project is funded by Minderoo Foundation, Equity Trustees (RM Ansett Trust) and the Bryan Foundation through the Investment Dialogue for Australia’s Children.
