What is Blessing CALD?

“Blessing CALD” celebrates diversity, promotes inclusivity, and fosters understanding among multicultural and minority communities in Australia. We aim to bridge cultural gaps through knowledge and information, creating meaningful connections.

Initially focused on distributing COVID-19 information in multiple languages, we have expanded our platform to cater to the diverse interests and needs of our community.

Here, you can not only find Local and Worldwide News, but also explore the Food cultures (Let’s cook! Or if you’re finding new restaurants, check our recommendations!) , gain online experiences of other cultures, and discover different ways of Lifestyle.

Blessing CALD gives information in English and multi-languages, available in Chinese, Arabic, Greek, Italian, etc. Besides only publish articles, we also provides audios and radio news (by NEMBC), so that you can listen to the news instead of only read them, it’s a easy way to improve your English!
