Ethnic Community Services Co-operative (ECSC) is a not for profit organisation with an extensive history of grass roots engagement with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. ECSC 's current focus is working with CALD communities including children and families, people with disabilities, the frail aged and carers. We also focus on building the capacity of mainstream service providers to facilitate culturally appropriate service delivery. ECSC promotes the rights of CALD people through systemic advocacy and policy development, and collaborates with members and other agencies to respond to community needs.
