Access and Equity in the South Australian Public Sector: Annual Report 2003-04
Multicultural SA : South Australian Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs Commission
Government of South Australia
The delivery of culturally inclusive and responsive services is essential given the diversity of the South Australian community. The Census of Population and Housing 2001 data indicate that 296 459 (20.2 per cent) of South Australian residents were born overseas, with 150 519 (10.3 per cent) born in countries where English is not an official language.
Multicultural SA compiles the Access and Equity Report on an annual basis. Departments are required to report on demonstrated improvements and emerging issues in the delivery of services to clients of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The work of staff members across the whole of government involved in the preparation of departmental submissions for this report is much appreciated.
