Advocacy
Your Voice to Government
MCCSA champions systemic change to break down barriers and stamp out discrimination.
We fight tirelessly to ensure South Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds can fully embrace their rights as citizens.
Our advocacy mission is to influence and reshape laws, government policy, and community attitudes.
