Settlement and Community Services

Migrating to a new country is a challenging and complex process. We work with new Queenslanders including migrants, refugees and asylum seekers to provide them with the support and services they need to settle into their new home. We also partner with communities and local organisations across Brisbane to operate a network of Welcome Hubs, where all Queenslanders can meet new people and get involved in their local communities.
