The state government is developing a program to help place cultural diversity at the heart of South Australian organisations.

The Multicultural South Australia Ambassador Program is being developed to activate the South Australian Multicultural Charter and embed the Charter’s principles within South Australian organisation’s workforce, business practices and service delivery.

The Ambassador Program will focus on individual organisations and where they are in their journey of cultural diversity and awareness in the workplace.

It will begin as a six-month pilot involving a diverse group of organisations from the private, not-for-profit, and local government sectors that will help shape the development of the Ambassador Program.

The five organisations  participating in the pilot are:

• Cancer Council SA
• City of West Torrens
• Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited
• PKF Adelaide
• RAA Group.

The outcomes of the pilot will help inform the full program that, in time, can be adopted by South Australian organisations more broadly.
