Ethnic Communities Council Queensland (ECCQ) is the peak for multicultural Queensland. We’re on
the ground – we’re connected, listening and feeding back to community, governments and partners
about the strengths and challenges for multicultural Queensland.
We share success stories, empower communities to self-advocate and advocate on their behalf
when needed.
As the peak for multicultural communities in Queensland:
Our strong membership base is made up of individuals and community organisations representing both established and emerging communities.
We work closely with all levels of government to influence key decisions impacting multicultural communities.
We celebrate success stories and elevate the voices of vulnerable people through our engagement networks for women and youth, as well as our Speak My Language multicultural disability podcast.
We provide capacity building opportunities to multicultural community groups – from setting
up associations through to grant writing application support.
Our health programs support multicultural communities to live well. Our dedicated network
of bi-cultural health workers focus on community education to improve their health
outcomes.
We work with the multicultural sector to strengthen services to reflect the needs of
community, as well as collaborate and partner on research and advocacy.
