Refugees and New Arrivals - Whittlesea Community Connections

WCC Settlement Engagement and Transition Support (SETS) services support newly arrived migrants and refugees on humanitarian and family stream visas who hold a permanent residency visa and are not yet Australian citizens, living in the City of Whittlesea or surrounding suburbs.

Our SETS team provides settlement-related information, advice, advocacy, and assistance to access mainstream and other relevant services. We have bi-cultural staff who can speak your language or use interpreter when needed.
