Cultural Atlas is an Australian collaborative project between the country’s Special Broadcasting Service, International Education Services, and Multicultural NSW.

It aims to give the most relevant advice on how to interact sensitively with different migrant communities so that readers gain a broad understanding of the norms and behaviour that would generally be familiar to people from the culture of description.

All published content in the Cultural Atlas is the result of a collective effort between researchers, editors and members of the Australian community that have cross-cultural identities or familiarities. Many of Australia's multicultural community members take time and effort to provide relevant information about their culture.

We extrapolate information from the Cultural Atlas’s cultural profiles; we don’t include issues that are only relevant to Australia but instead pull out details that we feel are relevant and helpful for our readership.
