FAQ

Cultural Perspectives is a specialist communications and engagement agency that helps organisations connect with Australia’s culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. We provide services in communication and marketing, translations, diversity and inclusion, community engagement, public relations, strategic planning and translations.

We work with a wide range of clients including state and federal government departments, NGOs and corporations seeking to engage diverse audiences.

People from multicultural/CALD communities might be migrants, international students, refugees or asylum seekers, with diverse traditions, language, practice and unique perspectives.

With over half of Australians either being born overseas or have a parent that was born overseas, multicultural/CALD communities are mainstream Australia.

At Cultural Perspectives, we actively engage people from CALD/multicultural communities right from the beginning during planning, continue to consult during development, maintain engagement for execution and involve during evaluation.

We prioritise the use of culturally appropriate language, images and distribution channels to ensure relevance and respect in our communications. Our engagement is underpinned by IAP2 and culturally safe/trauma informed frameworks. Above all, we are committed to listening, learning and being responsive to the communities we serve and represent.

What sets Cultural Perspectives apart is our deep cultural and linguistic expertise, backed by a diverse team and network of partners who bring lived experience and insight into Australia’s many communities.

For over 30 years, we’ve built strong relationships with multicultural communities across the country, earning their trust and creating networks that enable genuine engagement. This foundation ensures our work isn’t just seen or heard - it’s trusted.

NAATI stands for the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters. It’s the Australian body that ensures translators/interpreters meet certain professional standards.

Using NAATI certified translators ensures accuracy of meaning, appropriate cultural nuance and reliable, professional quality.

So when you need translations, working with NAATI‑certified service providers helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures respect for cultural context.

Here’s a typical process:

·       Initial consultation - you tell us your objectives, audiences, resources and constraints.

·       Proposal and scope - we put together a scope of work outlining services, timelines, deliverables and budget.

·       Research and planning - we conduct audience research, demographic analysis and cultural audits as appropriate.

• Implementation - campaign, engagement, translation and communications as required.

• Monitoring and evaluation - measuring impact, learning and adjusting.

We tailor our approach depending on your project, its scale and which services you engage us for to ensure maximum reach and effective outcomes.

The cost of our services can vary and is influenced by a range of considerations. Each project or campaign is unique, and several elements are considered when determining pricing to provide a tailored approach that aligns with the specific needs and objectives of the request.

For a clearer idea of costs, we recommend discussing the details of your project with us directly.

We’re based in the heart of Gadigal lands of the Eora Nation, Redfern, New South Wales but we work with clients across the country. Many of our projects involve communities across different states, and we also collaborate remotely or on location, depending on project requirements.
