• Responding to and addressing anti-social behaviour, such as racially motivated abuse harassment and violence towards Tasmanians from culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
• Increasing the perception and real experiences of safety for culturally and linguistically diverse Tasmanians.
• Tracking and measuring the impacts of addressing racism and fostering social cohesion within a local area.
• Fostering intercultural understanding and integration across communities within social, recreational, education, employment and other relevant settings.
