Development of a Multicultural Strategy for the Northern Territory

The Northern Territory Government (NTG) wants to hear from you as we develop a new Multicultural Strategy for the Northern Territory (the Strategy). This would outline the NTG’s vision over a 10-year period for a strong multicultural Territory.

The Strategy will:

• take a whole of government approach
• describe our vision, be guided by supporting principles, and identify priority areas for action
• be complemented by a Multicultural Action Plan (MAP), which outlines NTG's work, commitment, and plans to support multicultural communities

Our proposal for the contents of the Strategy and MAP are contained within the Consultation Paper. The questions on the consultation paper are designed to guide community feedback and input.

Let us know your thoughts, ideas and feedback:

First, read the Consultation Paper, then take any of these actions:

• share a story or post ideas on this page
  • Your STORY: How does the Northern Territory's diverse population make our community stronger?
  • The proposed VISION: Does this align with your idea of what a successful multicultural Territory should look like?
  • Supporting PRINCIPLES to guide the Strategy: Do they support your vision for a successful multicultural Territory?
  • The NT's Multicultural Peak Bodies: What do you think they should be doing for culturally diverse Territorians?
• leave a quick note
• upload a submission
• attend a consultation session (dates to be confirmed)

Submissions and comments are welcome from everyone including individuals, families, community groups and organisations.

The submission deadline is Sunday, 3 August 2025.
