Leaders from the Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia (FECCA) and the Australian Multicultural Women’s Alliance (AMWA) joined sector representatives at the Australian Council of Social Service parliamentary event held at Parliament House.
FECCA Chair Peter Doukas and CEO Mary Ann Geronimo, along with AMWA Executive Director Malini Raj, took part in the gathering, which provided community organisations with a direct platform to engage with the Minister for Social Services, the Assistant Minister, government backbenchers, and fellow leaders in the social sector.
The event highlighted the value of collaboration between government and community stakeholders in strengthening social policy and building resilient, inclusive communities. It also reaffirmed the shared responsibility of supporting the nation’s most vulnerable and ensuring their voices are represented in decision-making.
