Turkish Earthquake Appeal Committee
TEAC's aim was to assist victims and families of the Turkish earthquake and members of the Australian Turkish Community. TEAC researched community workers, service providers, and aid agencies to make informed decisions about the most appropriate methods of providing aid to survivors of the earthquake and their relatives in Australia.
Australian Language Certificates (ALC)
The Australian Language Certificates (ALC) program offers students national recognition for levels of achievement in their studies of Languages Other Than English (LOTE). The program was an initiative of the Australian Multicultural Foundation, in collaboration with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). It is supported by national and international organisations.
Step Into Voluntary Work
In 2000, the Australian Multicultural Foundation and the Office of Multicultural Affairs began to investigate the relationship between people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and volunteering in Australia . The research showed that while people from CALD backgrounds are often involved in the 'informal' voluntary sector within their own communities, they were less likely to become involved in the 'mainstream' voluntary sector.
