Experiences and Perspectives of Multicultural Australia
An Anti-Racism Framework:
Experiences and Perspectives of Multicultural Australia
Online survey
Parallel to the consultations, a short online survey was
developed, with only one question:
What do you want to tell the Australian
Government about racism in Australia,
and how it can be addressed?
The survey was widely circulated on FECCA’s social media,
amongst FECCA’s members and partner organisations, and
amongst the consultation participants. The survey also had
optional questions to capture respondent demographics.
465 people replied, with 411 valid responses recorded.
Small grants
Upon completion of the consultation process, community
organisations were provided with the opportunity to apply
for a one-off, non-competitive, small grant of up to $5,000
to implement community-based activities of their choice,
to support greater understanding of racism as well as
initiatives to address and prevent it. Of the 18 participating
organisations, 15 applied for the grant and received
funding. Activities conducted ranged from communal
events, workshops and developing in-language resources
to educate and raise awareness about racism and reporting
mechanisms. Organisations returned a brief report outlining
the outcomes of their anti-racism initiatives.
