These comprehensive workshops aim to provide essential information and guidance for a smooth transition into their new lives, and ultimately, independence and a sense of belonging.

We who have come from many places acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land which always was and always will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island land. We pay our respects to their Elders throughout all time. We walk together in solidarity of the pain of the past and the shared hope for the future.
