On August 21st, the Settlement Services Processes and Guide was successfully launched—a South East Melbourne & Peninsula initiative developed by a collaborative working group known as the Settlement Leading Network Partners (SLNP). This guide aims to bridge the gap in service delivery for migrants and new arrivals within the region, supporting service providers in better assisting the migrant community with their transition into Australia. The SLNP includes representatives from: - South Eastern Melbourne and Peninsula Local Jobs Program: Employment Facilitator Sean Teer and Support Officer Katie Sheargold - Services Australia: Multicultural Service Officer Malcolm McCormick - WISE Employment: WFA Employment Services Provider Mary Gyurcsik - South East Community Links: Settlement Practitioners Ruwanthi Mudannayaka and Sana Hassan - Chisholm Institute: Vocational Advisor Kylie Reid The launch event was a great success, receiving positive feedback and generating strong interest in using the guide to improve service delivery. We look forward to the positive impact this initiative will bring to our community!

We’re beyond excited to share the incredible results of our partnership with WISE Employment for our Archie Brothers Penrith venue!

He's led by his amazing Venue Manager Savio Del Duca, who leads with such passion in the Inclusion & Diversity space— setting the bar incredibly high for all of us to strive for! And lastly a huge thanks to Bree McGrath, our wonderful Account Manager for Wise NSW, who we’re so lucky to have in our corner! We encourage all businesses to embrace inclusivity in the disability employment space, as together we can make a difference!

Our WISE Strathpine office warmly welcomed our Arabic-speaking customers for a morning tea, where they shared inspiring stories and enjoyed delicious foods from their home countries, Iraq and Syria. Events like this, along with activities such as arts and crafts, provide a great opportunity for our teams to connect with customers beyond employment support and build a sense of community for those who speak English as a second language. The team received positive feedback from the day and is excited to host more events in the future!
