Settlement Engagement and Transition Support
Our Settlement Engagement and Transition Support program provides free settlement support to eligible visa holders from refugee and migrant backgrounds. Managed by Inala Community House, the program aims to assist clients in becoming more independent.

Our program is available for clients who exhibit high settlement needs based on pre-arrival experiences, including:
