Providing advice, information, and referrals to individuals, as well as casework advocacy to help address their needs. These services aim to empower individuals by providing them with the support they need to access their rights and entitlements, and to feel included and connected to their communities.
Advocacy for the minority groups is very important, it is not just about bridging the language gap, but also guaranteed representation in legislative and advisory bodies.
Our project will support the Chinese community to speak up about their experiences, values, and expectations. It enables them to find a stronger voice, to campaign and influence the agendas and decisions that shape and affect their lives.
Besides helping the service users we can also assist the service providers, so that they can offer an equal and effective service, without our assistance, they will not know what is working well, where gaps are in service and how best to target resources. We help legislators for policy makers to create opportunities for people to challenge discrimination and inequality. Furthermore we help our community to become more active and contributing citizens.
