Diversitat Today
In recent years, the organisation has delivered a wide range of refugee services to a broad range of ethnic communities in Geelong and the region. They housed the first Sudanese and Liberian families in Geelong and continue to support these groups. Their central office at the Geelong West Town Hall is well known throughout the community and is a positive icon and symbol of Geelong’s multicultural success story.
Since its inception, the core mission of the GECC has been to ensure that ethnic groups, organisations and individuals are given the opportunity to develop their potential, fulfil their aspirations and be equal members of the community. Today, and still operating as a registered charity, Diversitat is the most diverse Ethnic Communities Council in Australia in terms of program delivery and the largest in terms of budget, modest as it may be.
