The Multicultural Council of Tasmania (MCOT) is delivering a new Campaign, Inclusive Tas, as part of Action 7 of Embracing Diversity, Fostering Belonging: Tasmania’s Multicultural Action Plan 2025–2029 (MAP). Supported by the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPAC), MCOT is developing resources that promote cultural safety, inclusion, and social cohesion across Tasmanian communities, government agencies, services, and businesses.

This project supports the goals of the Multicultural Action Plan by strengthening cultural awareness, sensitivity, and inclusion. It aims to address both conscious and unconscious bias to foster environments where everyone feels respected and safe. Our approach also aligns with the National Anti‑Racism Framework, which emphasises that while “diversity is a fact, inclusion is a choice”; meaningful inclusion requires deliberate action.
