The Multicultural Access Project (MAP) is funded by Ageing, Disability and Home Care (ADHC) through the Home and Community Care (HACC) program. The aim of the project is to improve access for people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities to HACC services. There is a statewide MAP coordinator and regional MAP coordinators throughout Greater Sydney and the Central Coast and Hunter (download the 'MAP Network Contact List' document below for a list of MAP contacts). Each MAP coordinator’s role includes identifying and developing solutions to enhance access to HACC services and service outcomes for people from diverse cultural backgrounds, informing, supporting and resourcing HACC services and diverse cultural communities and representing cultural diversity issues on statewide, regional and local levels.

Penrith Women's Health Centre auspiced the Looking After Me (LAM) Project – which provided educational/personal growth groups on issues relating to healthy relationships and domestic violence – targeting women with intellectual disability. One of the outcomes from the LAM project was a resource kit that contains visual aids to assist in discussing DV issues with those women.
