Helping those who are new to Australia
Settle In is delivered by Communicare in partnership with 54 Reasons and Centrecare and is available to individuals and families in the South-East and South-West metropolitan regions of Perth and Mandurah.
The program works to support newly arrived humanitarian entrants and eligible migrants as they begin their new lives in Australia. It helps them become active members of their local communities, build connections and relationships, and understand more about Australian life and customs. Our team also provide support with issues like housing, education, training, jobs, and citizenship.
