About the Health Impact Project
About the Health Impact Project
The first few years of an individual’s life are critical to their long-term health and wellbeing. The Health Impact Project (HIP) provides an innovative place-based approach to supporting CALD children 0-8 years to achieve optimum health, wellbeing and developmental outcomes. HIP strives to remove complex barriers so that CALD families can successfully access a wide range of health promotion and early intervention activities at Community Hubs Logan. Our approach ensures holistic and planned interventions with effective coordination of resources and complementary services that are unintrusive, practical and directed by participants.
Key health promotion and early intervention activities include:
- Child health nurse outreach
- Oral health service outreach
- Speech therapy
- Music therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Kids gross motor programs
- Cultural cooking and nutrition classes
- Gentle exercise and stretching
- Dance classes
- School readiness workshops
- Developmental workshops
- Water safety programs
- Tailored parenting programs
- Referrals to relevant support services
We deliver these services in partnership with 5 local school-based hubs – Woodridge SS, Woodridge North SS, Marsden SS, St Pauls Primary and St Francis College. Key HIP principles include provision of culturally responsive, trauma-informed, strengths-based, wraparound supports for children and families.

The Federal Government’s Community Support Program (CSP) aims to help people applying for humanitarian visas (CSP visa) to settle in Australia. Australian businesses, families and individuals can offer employment through the scheme, and community organisations can offer settlement support.
As an Approved Proposing Organisation (APO) under the program, SSI can propose individuals in humanitarian situations overseas to take part in the Community Support Program in Australia. Our goal is to support potential humanitarian applicants who have eligible supporters for successful resettlement in Australia. We aim for them to become financially independent and have meaningful lives in Australia within a year of their arrival.
Only a certain number of visas are granted under the Community Support Program (CSP) every year. The CSP has extended processing times as it is heavily oversubscribed. Processing may take eight years or longer. All applicants should expect lengthy processing times. To help manage this, the Department has asked APOs to pause accepting Expression of Interests (EOI) and lodging new visa applications.
Please direct any enquiries relating to applications which have already been lodged to csp@ssi.org.au
How we help
Expression of Interest (EOI)
Kindly note that SSI has reached capacity for this program. We will not be accepting new applications under the Community Support (CSP) Program.

About Families and Early Years Program
Families and Early Years Program is proud to partner with Metro South Health to deliver a community-based antenatal service for eligible newly arrived, refugee, and migrant women living in Logan, Queensland.
The service is facilitated by the SSI Gateway and aims to improve birthing outcomes for babies born in Logan. Evidence shows that a woman who receives care from a Midwife throughout the duration of pregnancy and birth is more likely to have a normal birth of a healthy baby at term, have a more positive experience of labour and birth, be more satisfied with her care, and successfully breastfeed.
We work closely with Midwives to provide wrap-around support to women and families by linking them in with internal and external services for housing, employment, health and financial wellbeing support.

Persecution, war, political instability and displacement are all factors that lead individuals and families to leave their homes to seek permanent protection elsewhere, including Australia. Refugees who come to Australia face many challenges during settlement, such as financial hardship, dealing with experiences of torture and trauma, and family separation.
Australia is a nation built on immigration. We have a long history of providing safe asylum to refugees, many of whom have gone on to make great civil, social and economic contributions to Australian society.
SSI and Allianz aim to continue that tradition by providing targeted scholarships to those who are most in need and willing to overcome social and economic challenges.
In response to the various needs of refugee communities, SSI and Allianz offer scholarships to individuals across a range of education categories, including secondary, vocational education and training, university, and skills qualification and recognition.

About Work+Stay
Australia’s regions are in dire need of workers in a range of sectors. At the same time, many people in cities – including newcomers – are looking for employment. SSI’s Work+Stay business aims to bring the two together, helping to solve challenges for regional employers and to build stronger communities.
The program has a focus on right-fit employment and lifestyle solutions for newcomers considering relocation, and the right long-term workforce for employers in the regions.
