Cultural diversity plans (CDP's) help Victorian government departments provide more inclusive, accessible, and responsive services to multicultural and multifaith communities. They cover many areas, including:
- workforce diversity
- engagement
- participation
- inclusion
- cultural competency in service delivery.
Departments report their progress on their CDPs every year, in line with the Multicultural Victoria Act 2011.
Table 6 shows the status of departmental CDPs as at 30 June 2024.
