This also now include the Pacific Engagement Visa (PEV) and the Falepili Mobility Pathway which are two distinct permanent residency streams under Australia’s Subclass 192 visa program).
Our caseworkers are focused on building client capacity to access services and participate fully in Australian life. The casework support we provide is varied, and can range from building ability to complete forms and understanding documents, through to providing referral to key supports like legal advice, and providing advocacy to resolve an issue.
To support and address the variety of issues that have been seen through casework, the Western Sydney MRC holds numerous information and education sessions. In response to a request from a group of women, Western Sydney MRC partnered with Legal Aid and Green Valley Domestic Violence Service and other local agencies to provide information to increase awareness around domestic violence and the support that is available. Western Sydney MRC also partnered with the Australian Electoral commission to deliver information sessions on how to make your vote count in the election
The WSRSC represents a unique and innovative settlement services delivery model and provides an opportunity for organisations with a long history in service delivery to migrants, refugees and humanitarian entrants, to work collaboratively in achieving the best outcomes for clients.
