Multicultural Australia is dedicated to supporting newly arrived clients on their settlement journey by offering Life Skills training. These comprehensive workshops aim to provide essential information and guidance for a smooth transition into their new lives, and ultimately, independence and a sense of belonging.

Multicultural Australia acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet today.
As the world’s oldest living cultures, we recognise that Australia always has been and always will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.
We who come from many places pay our respects to Elders throughout all time and commit to learning from the knowledge, traditions, stories, spirituality, and experiences of Aboriginal people as we learn to live on their land.
We walk together in solidarity of the pain of the past, and in shared hope for the future.
