The Community Action for a Multicultural Society (CAMS) initiative is a partnership strategy between State Government and community organisations to promote multiculturalism.

The CAMS program enables community organisations to employ multicultural community workers to undertake systemic and group advocacy and community capacity building activites for the benefit of people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and to strengthen multiculturalism across Queensland.

CAMS is designed to support the overall multicultural policy objectives of ensuring that all Queenslanders, regardless of their cultural, linguistic or religious backgrounds:

• have equitable access to services and programs that respond appropriately to their needs
• are able to fully participate in and benefit from all aspects of life in Queensland
• feel a sense of belonging in a cohesive and harmonious community.

Specifically, CAMS aims to help achieve:

• equitable access for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to services and programs that respond to their needs
• equitable participation by people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in community life - including educational, economic, political, social and cultural activities.

A total of 20 services are funded through the Community Action for a Multicultural Society Program including a coordination position.
