The committee's six priorities are:

1. Identify improvements to Council and community activities and events that enable greater access and inclusion of our diverse multicultural community.
2. Promote programs, activities and events that are provided for our diverse multicultural community. 
3. Improve communications with our CALD community through accessible and universal language, easy English and translations. 
4. Improve community engagement with our CALD community to empower all people to have their voices heard in Council’s decision-making. 
5. Convene a multicultural forum for local CALD and multifaith community leaders to advance Glen Eira’s strong position against racism and discrimination.
