Ethnic Communities’ Council of Victoria (ECCV) was established in 1974 as a voluntary community based organisation and is now a broadly based, state-wide, peak advocacy body representing ethnic and multicultural communities in Victoria. ECCV has a volunteer executive and chairperson and full-time professional staff who are engaged in developing policy and working on a range of projects.

For over 30 years ECCV has remained the principal liaison point between ethnic communities, government and the wider community in Victoria. ECCV has been a key player in building Victoria as a successful, harmonious and multicultural community.

ECCV advocates and lobbies all levels of government on behalf of multicultural communities in areas like access and equity, aged care services, migration services, discrimination, community harmony, employment, education and training, health and community services, law and justice, and arts and culture.

ECCV's role includes supporting, consulting, liaising with and providing information to Victoria’s ethnic communities. ECCV delivers policy projects for key partners in areas like multicultural policy, aged care programs and skilled migration strategies.

ECCV membership currently stands at 170. Membership is open to organisations with an ethnic or multicultural focus, organisations with an interest in these areas, or individuals who support ECCV.
