non-white group, who face discrimination or marginalisation due to their race and/or racialised religion. Culturally and linguistically
diverse (CALD) is a much broader category than CARM, as it includes people who are typically racialised as white, are from a
non-Anglo Celtic cultural background, and may not use English as their main language (themselves, their parents, or ancestors).
For example, a Ukrainian migrant or someone who is born in Australia from Ukrainian parents.
