We have a new look!
Our new logo is part of our brand refresh, which unifies our wide range of life-changing human and social services.
In the last ten years, Settlement Services International has grown significantly, particularly with the acquisition of Queensland-based Access Community Services Limited and our expansion into Victoria in 2018.
We have diversified into sectors like employment, disability, family preservation, home care, social enterprise and training. While settlement remains an important part of what we do, our story has grown significantly and so has our purpose.
SSI stands for equality of life
Our purpose is to create a world in which everyone has equal opportunity to achieve their potential in life.
About our new look
Our new logo captures SSI’s growth and purpose, and what we do to help create a more inclusive society. We're unifying our organisations under a single brand.
We are the same people, offering the same dedicated support to new arrivals, local communities, individuals, families and children.
Why equality?
We all strive for a better quality of life. At SSI, we believe this is possible when we seek a better ‘equality’ of life.
SSI offers human services that connect people with opportunity, engage with the community and provide support through lived experience.
At the heart of our organisation is a drive for equality, empathy and celebration of every individual – no matter where they were born, their gender, ability, age, sexuality, faith or ethnicity.
The two yellow orbs in our new logo represent both balance and equality.

- making all Australians, new and old, feel welcomed
