Progress on departmental cultural diversity plans

Cultural diversity plans (CDPs) 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. Table 7 shows the status of departmental CDPs as of 30 June 2025.
