Belonging Across Borders Report

Belonging Across Borders Report

Earlier this year the Commissioner for Children and Young People ran the ‘Belonging Across Borders’ survey. Over 576 eligible participants, aged 17 and under, contributed their insights, reflecting on the challenges and highlights of immigrating to and living in Australia.

The survey findings indicate that government and other social services could support improved integration in the following three areas: language and education, support services and racism and safety.

Recognising that such a large portion of Western Australian young people are from culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) backgrounds, the survey was crucial to better understand their experiences of moving to and living in Australia. Through their shared experiences WA will be able to improve programs, and services for CaLD young people in our state.
