Community Services (CS)

CS is one of the major programs provided by the Centre. It is funded by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. Our CS program provides a wide range of services to assist new settlers in ressolving their settlement problems, gaining access to general community services, participating in the social and economical life of Australia, and fully integrating into their new homeland.

The CS team also aims to continuously improve our services in order to meet the changing needs of our community.

A new CS office has been opened to assist and serve new settlers in the Northern Region.

CS Services include:-

1. Community Settlement Services (CSS)

CSS service is available to individuals, families and groups who have recently arrived and are in need of assistance. Case work and group work are available to assist new migrants to resolve their immediate settlement problems. Information sessions covering a wide range of migrant settlement issues are organised on a regular basis and referrals are made wherever appropriate.

CaSS targets Chinese carers who are caring a child suffering from the impact of physical or intellectual disabilities. Case work, group work, skill trainings and advocacy are provided to enhance and empower the carers with their capacity of caring a person with disability, and accessing appropriate services. Carers with similar backgrounds or concerns are assisted to form support groups and self-help groups to facilitate mutual support among themselves.
