Settlement Engagement and Transition Support (SETS)

The goal of the Settlement Engagement Transition Support Program (SETS) is to support and empower people who arrived as refugee or with an eligible family visa to address their settlement needs in order to improve social participation, economic well-being, independence, personal well-being and community connectedness. This program is funded by our long-standing partner SSI.

Meet Asmeret, MCCGC's Settlement Program Support Worker. Asmeret works alongside our Senior SETS Caseworker to provide newly arrived families and individuals support with settling into their new lives in Australia.

  • Providing settlement-related information, advice, and advocacy
  • Connecting with mainstream and other relevant services 
  • Accessing culturally appropriate physical and mental health services
  • Supporting vulnerable women at risk

Kind words from our SETS clients 

“I have been playing with MCCGC program Ready Set Goal for three years and have learned a lot about respect and skills on and off the field. When we are out of the field, Miss Koren Hannah helps people find jobs and study for their driving tests. For me, the program of Koren has been something great.”
