Support for New Arrival/Migration to Australia
Newly arrived migrants, be it permanent residents, students or workers face many challenges when they arrive in Australia. The first few days are most challenging with regard to even basic things like setting up bank accounts, getting to know the transportation and directions, sorting out accommodation, finding jobs, getting tax file number, registering with various agencies like centrelink, medicare etc. Please call or get in touch with us if you facing any of these problems.

Students form a big chunk new arrivals to Australia. Students have to struggle for accommodation, university and immigration department rules, getting jobs etc. Please call or get in touch with us if you facing any of these problems.

Workplace discrimination can be experienced at workplace, classroom etc. It is encouraged that such problems should be dealt with and sorted out.

Although Australia is promoted fairness but still elements exist in society which exhibit racist tendencies. This can be a random abuse on the street or public place to physical assault. The only way to control is to make more and more people aware and also report it to authorities so that necessary steps can be taken.

Many a times while working and doing our jobs one is not aware of the rights at workplace. There are things to consider such as, whether you are being payed correctly, are you getting all your entitlements and benefits, In case of injury, are you being looked after and properly compensated. If there is confusion regarding above and need help please call us.

Sikh households suffer from domestic violence, addictions etc. Due to stigma attached with such issues the victims don’t want to discuss this openly, thus they need support in their hour of need.
