This strategy has been shaped by:
- the diverse voices, perspectives and experiences of Victorians from metropolitan, rural and regional areas
- research and data from across the state and country.
Understanding the experiences and extent of racism helps us understand why we need this strategy and where to focus our efforts.
How we heard the voices of the Victorian community
We heard from more than 670 Victorians through:
- roundtables with 150 experts and practitioners from key sectors including jobs and employment, health services, housing, education, creative industries, sports and justice
- targeted consultations with 165 First Peoples, multicultural and multifaith community members in partnership with community-led organisations
- consultations with 30 stakeholders in rural and regional areas
- written submissions from 7 organisations
- 319 responses to an online survey open to the Victorian public.
