Abstract
This report relates community capacity building to the Assyrian community living in Fairfield City. It provides a snapshot of the community at a particular point in time and suggests directions for their future success. The report is the outcome of a twelve month project which surveyed the Assyrian community and mainstream service providers in the Fairfield area during 2004/05. It considers the broader Assyrian community, which includes new arrivals and those with a longer presence in Australia. The Assyrians currently constitute the second largest ethnic community within the Fairfield City Local Government Area (LGA) and lack equity in a range of key areas, including education, employment, housing and health.
