  • Administration support — includes answering phones, mail outs, preparing show bags, preparing welcome folders for new arrival with resources in multiple languages,  photocopying, helping with surveys etc.
  • English Conversation Classes — assist members of the new settling communities with opportunities for practicing their English and getting to know people in the community who are not service providers.  Uniting organises community consultations biannually  to explore what activities the community would like for us to plan for them under the Settlement Engagement and Transition Support Program.
