Helping newcomers adapt to Australian life

Refugees, asylum seekers and migrants who enter Australia without strong family and community support face major hurdles in adapting to their new lives. The Settlement Engagement and Transition Support (SETS) Queensland program aims to provide such newcomers with the skills they need to engage in society, to achieve emotional wellbeing and to gain economic independence.

Delivered by SSI and operating in the Logan and Ipswich regions of Southern Queensland, the program has two streams.

Client Services aims to provide newcomers with advice, advocacy and assistance related to settlement.
Capacity Building helps new and emerging community groups and organisations support their specific communities.
