(1) |
The Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD) has not adopted any minimum reporting indicators for culturally diverse customers, as it is a service provider for all Canberrans and collection of this information is not required across the breadth of services provided. EPSDD is committed to a socially inclusive community for all Canberrans and every effort is made to improve services delivery to our customers. This includes: • employing a culturally diverse workforce that is reflective of our diverse community; • staff adhering to the Respect, Equity and Diversity (RED) Framework and receiving training as required to assist with understanding diversity and the delivery of quality services; • customer service officers being appropriately trained to deal with culturally diverse communities at EPSDD service centres; • interpreter services promoted on the EPSDD website; and • community consultation on a range of matters, which frequently includes organisations and individuals representing culturally diverse stakeholders. |
Government agencies—cultural capability
(Question No 1292)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Community Services and Social Inclusion, upon notice, on 13 April 2018:
(1) Are there any groups of training providers in the ACT that work to better support the cultural capability of local organisations; if not, why not; if so, what (a) are the names of the groups and (b) is the nature of the support that they provide.
(2) What training opportunities in cultural awareness and working with interpreters are available for government agencies and other relevant staff to ensure cultural capability.
(3) What policies and frameworks are currently in place to improve access to funded services by the culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community in the ACT.
