The SBS Community Advisory Committee assists the SBS Board in its duty to be aware of and responsive to community needs, opinions and ambitions of all Australians, including those of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and culturally and linguistically diverse communities, as they relate to the Charter, content, services and activities. The committee includes SBS Non-Executive Board Member and SBS CAC Co-Chair, Ms Dot West, and SBS Deputy Chairman, Mr George Savvides.
The first meeting was held on 24 October at SBS Sydney and members were provided an overview of the organisation, followed by a teleconference on 21 November. The SBS Community Advisory Committee will reconvene on 13 December for the final meeting of the year.
