About Community Education Program

We understand that it can be challenging for refugees and humanitarian entrants to adapt to life in Australia. That is why we offer the Community Education program, which provides workshops and courses to help newcomers find their feet and engage with local communities.

Our courses aim to increase their knowledge of Australia and ability to navigate and access services. We offer courses such as driver literacy, public transport, housing, citizenship progression and support for exam preparation, and job seeking strategies. Join us and take the first step in making Australia feel like home!

How we help

We identity the skills and knowledge newcomers need to thrive in Australia
We create courses that meet their needs and that recognise their literacy levels and cultural backgrounds
We deliver the courses to enhance their overall settlement experience in Australia
