Casey Multicultural Women's Support Group
South Eastern Region Migrant Resource Centre -
January 2009
The Multicultural Women's Support Group for refugee women in the Casey area introduces newly arrived refugee women to the many services available in their area.
It is easy to take for granted knowledge about how things work in Melbourne if you have spent significant time here. The Women's Support Group recognises that this knowledge must be imparted and that it can be overwhelming to embark on a new life without the support of family and community. Through the group's activities, the women will get to know their area, one another and the important resources available to them and their families.
For more information, see the attached fact sheet.
