This blanket categorisation impacts the efficiency of federal services and legislation meant to tackle discrimination. By not providing access to culturally tailored multicultural services, caste-oppressed communities are left unsupported. Moreover, multicultural inclusion policies often sideline these communities, resulting in a lack of opportunity for them to rise to leadership roles across sectors such as politics, media, public service, business, and the nonprofit sector. Federal government measures to foster multiculturalism, whether through funding media programs on ABC and SBS, diversifying government workforce, or enhancing anti-discrimination laws, frequently disregard caste-oppressed communities
