Settling into life in Australia
Arriving in a new country is always challenging.
It can be hard to know how to go about getting a driver's licence, how the school system works, where to find a doctor, even how to understand electricity bills or how to sign up for internet services.
Thankfully, the Neighbourhood Justice Centre can help.
If you have been living in Australia for less than five years, we can help you settle into live in the City of Yarra.
We can help you with:
- Housing
- Jobs and education
- Centrelink
- Health services
- Citizenship
- Referrals to migration services
- Material aid
- Volunteer support
Life skills and other programs
We also assist community groups to develop programs, including programs such as:
- Learn to drive
- Leadership skills
- Health and well-being.
Support services are free and easy to organise. Call the NJC on 9948 8777 or drop in. We'll organise our refugee and migrant workers to talk to you.
