The supporting document demonstrates the central role of the NEMBC, its major achievements (Leading The Way) and approaches to its diverse membership and details the important and substantial contribution community ethnic broadcasting makes to the promotion of social cohesion and inclusion. Our submission focuses on four areas of investment that can drive sector growth for ethnic community broadcasting: • Targeted support for refugee and new and emerging communities • A National Multilingual News Service (MNS) • Training and skills development for ethnic and multicultural broadcasters • Program and content production We estimate a Government contribution of $4,750,000 would significantly improve our ability to meet these goals.
