Mr Ramsay: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The ACT Chief Magistrate hosted a half day workshop on Friday 13 July 2018 to engage and consult with the ACT culturally and linguistically diverse community (CALD) to identify practical measures to assist the CALD community when seeking protection from family violence.
Approximately 45 persons participated in the workshop representing key community oganisations, legal services, agencies, representatives of the ACT Multicultural Advisory Council and the wider CALD community.
(2) The workshop facilitator is preparing a report for the Chief Magistrate that will summarise the key issues and recommendations.
