What is Harmony Week?
Harmony Week is dedicated to celebrating our cultural diversity and promoting inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for everyone.
This year, Harmony Day will be celebrated on Thursday 21 March and is part of a week-long celebration, recognising the diversity of Australians and bringing together people from different backgrounds.
During 18 – 24 March, you can participate in Harmony Week events and wear orange to show your support.

UNDERSTANDING DISABILITY IN MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITIES
We have a key role in ensuring people with disability, their families and carers from multicultural backgrounds reach their full potential and participate in all aspects of community life. That's why we’re bringing multicultural communities together to share stories of people and families living well with disability and their participation in community life to reduce the stigma around disability.
