Council continues to seek community feedback to enhance the Better Together campaign, which runs from 2022 until 2026.

Thank you to those who have shared your ideas with us already.

Georges River is a rich and culturally diverse community, where everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome. We have a growing population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds who live, work and meet in our LGA.

We celebrate our diversity and are committed to supporting a socially inclusive and connected community. We want to make sure everyone feels safe and welcome, which is why we launched the Georges River “Better Together” anti-racism campaign on 21 March 2022.

This four-year campaign aims to promote diversity, encourage social cohesion and call out discrimination in our community. We will work with the community to provide people with the knowledge and tools to be able to recognise, stand up to, challenge and report racism when they see it, and to support those who are directly affected by acts of racism.

Community Feedback is Essential

The success of Better Together relies on the active and ongoing involvement of Georges River community members and local organisations.

Georges River Council invites you to share your feedback on the Better Together campaign so we can continue to work with the community and support those who are affected by racism. If you have any ideas for future events or initiatives, or general feedback, we are eager to hear from you.

We have also included a safe space for you to share whether you have seen or experienced racism in the community. While Council may not be able to act on specific incidents of racism, it is extremely important that we collect data on where, when, and how racism occurs in our community.

By capturing this crucial information, we can identify patterns and work with local organisations and our community members in an effective manner to truly address racism. Your feedback is anonymous unless you choose to share your details.

We thank you in advance for sharing your experiences with us. We are always Better Together.
