SydWest Multicultural Services is delivering housing services in the Blacktown LGA

SCoA member, Sydwest Multicultural Services has created an inspiring book which shares the stories of some of Australia’s newest citizens. Exploring themes of employment, education, health, social engagement, family and many more, this collection of stories is a message of hope and a celebration of all that Australia stands to gain by welcoming refugees and helping them settle.

WEstjustice employment law project seeks to improve employment outcomes for newly arrived migrants and refugee communities.

MARSS aims to provide affordable accommodation to humanitarian entrants, through the Investors Can Help program.

Family Harmony Programs empower CALD community leaders to provide new and emerging communities with capacity building that strengthens families and communities.

Parents Café provides a safe and welcoming space for CALD parents to come together to discuss settlement experiences and learn new skills.

Work and Welcome offers new arrivals short-term work at a school or business, providing valuable work experience in a supportive Australian workplace. The program draws on the generosity of companies, their employees, community groups and individuals to pool together money to fund 12 week job placements for newcomers to Queensland. Both new arrivals and employers benefit from this program as job placements give people a foot in the door and employers benefit with access to the unique skills and experience new arrivals have to offer.

Dress For Work is a free service that provides professional business attire to men who are unable to afford quality clothing. Having access to appropriate clothing helps people looking for work to make a good first impression for important appointments and job interviews.
