Cultural Diversity Committee

The Cultural Diversity Committee (CDC) is a sub-committee of the Eye and Ear Hospital Board of Directors. The role of the CDC is to advise the Board on the Hospital's services, from a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) perspective.

The CDC promotes involvement which represents the various cultural backgrounds of the community accessing the Hospital; help to communicate with our CALD communities; advocate on behalf of CALD communities and in planning how services are developed and run.

The Eye and Ear Hospital aims to meet the needs of the CALD communities we serve. The CDC is an ideal way to achieve this, including the development and monitoring of a Cultural Diversity Plan.

The CDC membership currently includes seven community representatives, two of which are Board Directors. Our representatives are from various cultural backgrounds.
