Hi Marisa
Inclusion and Professional Support Program is available for children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, including children from a refugee or humanitarian intervention background, children with ongoing high support needs, including children with a disability, Indigenous children. this is available for all child care centres.
See their website - http://deewr.gov.au/inclusion-and-profe ... rt-program.
I am not sure what state you are in but try this page too: http://ncac.acecqa.gov.au/educator-reso ... sheet4.pdf
It is from ACECQA the new governing body for EYLF/MQS stuff and gives some good info.
Diversity is something all centres need to cater for. We are a multicultural society and you will get families from all backgrounds. We need to celebrate with them, and share with others, the traditions and beliefs and customs, without making it superficial and tokenistic.
I hope this info is of some help
