  • Promoting and encouraging the uptake of Australian values and liberal democracy and amplifying the value of Australian citizenship.
  • Promoting a greater understanding and acceptance of racial, religious and cultural diversity.
  • Addressing issues within Australian communities that show potential for or early signs of, low social integration.

The intended outcome of the grant opportunity is to contribute to an integrated and cohesive multicultural Australia where migrants:

  • have capacity to communicate in English, the national language of Australia
  • actively participate in Australian society through work, school, sport or other community activities
  • embrace Australian values and abide by Australian laws
  • are gainfully employed
  • are resilient in times of crisis
  • have social networks that cross ethnic and religious groups
  • are welcomed and supported by the broader Australian community.
