Cedar Creek worked with Reconciliation Victoria and other partners to develop the Victorian Local Government Aboriginal Reconciliation and Engagement survey. The survey was developed as an online survey that was sent to all Victorian local governments in May 2012, and closed in July 2012. Over 95% of Councils responded to the survey, which comprised 125 questions related to relevant policy and practice across key function areas of local government.

Cedar Creek won't be getting much sleep next Wednesday, but we'll be in the best of company. June 6th is Melbourne City Council StreetCount2012 and Cedar Creek is proud to once again be involved in this important project. Over 100 volunteers, many of them workers in the homeless sector and Council staff walk the city streets from 4:00 am until 7:30 am and record every contact with homeless people. Where possible, short surveys of rough sleepers are recorded.

The International Students at Risk Project will identify common themes around student welfare in Melbourne and provide some better information about the nature and extent of International Student Hardship in Melbourne. There are over 600,000 international students in Australia and, until recently, this number has been growing at about 12% a year. About 30% of all International students live in Victoria. Most come from China and India, but also from Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal, Indonesia and Brazil, among others.

The Social Networking in Community Agencies (SNICA) Project is an initiative of the St Kilda Inclusion Project in conjunction with Port Phillip Council. Port Phillip Council supports and directly funds a range of community organisations, including Neighbourhood Houses and Youth services.
