At Polaron, we are committed to the principle of valuing cultural diversity. We believe that people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are not homogenous and the Australian community is made up of many different cultural and ethnic groups, with considerable diversity within each. We believe that asking people about what they want is key to engagement and effective communication. When seeking feedback, we can focus on health, legal or any other resources requiring peer review or community approval.  

Polaron’s Multicultural Advisory Panel is comprised of leaders from culturally, religiously, ethnically and linguistically diverse communities and their representative organisations. Established by Polaron in 2013 with the aim of improving community outcomes for diverse Australians, the Panel provides direct grassroot response, advice, guidance and feedback about the quality and effectiveness of language services provided by Polaron. It also assists with the development of community profiles, trends and preferences as well as dissemination strategies, creative engagement ideas and communication approaches.
