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.

2. Carer Support Services (CaSS)

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.

We have organised a special group for interested people to join:-
a. Chinese Parents' Special Net

3. Mental Health Services (MHS)

MHS aims to provide effective and culturally sensitive mental health services to the Chinese community to support people experiencing mental health problem and help them to gain appropriate treatment and services timely; and to promote mental well-being and deliver proper knowledge of mental health literacy in the Chinese community.

4. Community Partners Program (CPP)

CPP aims to promote and facilitate increased and sustained access to aged care information and services by culturally and linguistically diverse communities with significant aged care needs. The Centre has been funded by the Department of Health and Ageing to assist Chinese older people and their carers to gain access to aged care information and services, and as well assist aged care service providers in the delivery of culturally appropriate services to the older Chinese-speaking community.
