Brimbank council has revised its methods for supporting migrants and new arrivals to successfully settle in the community, with a new action plan.
The plan outlines strategies to respond to the needs of new and emerging communities settling in Brimbank. It also aims to support Brimbank’s settlement agencies.
Mayor Lucinda Congreve said the strategy will support new arrivals and the wider community.
“As one of the most multicultural communities in Victoria, diversity is one of Brimbank’s key strengths.
“Refugees, humanitarian entrants, asylum seekers, migrants and skilled migrants, make up a significant portion of our new and emerging communities – bringing opportunities, cultural richness and diverse ideas.
“But migrants and refugees also face unique challenges – and receiving high quality support is key to successfully settling into their new lives in Australia,” Cr Congreve said.
