SETTLEMENT ENGAGEMENT AND TRANSITION SUPPORT (SET)  PROGRAM

  • This program aims to help newly-arrived migrants get to know their local community and to access the range of services on offer.  The SET Program is funded by the Department of Social Services.

MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

  • This program is designed to assist Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities participate more fully in the cultural life of their new country and community.  We can assist the formation and incorporation of social and cultural organisations for ethnic communities.
  • This program also enables Multicultural Community Services of Central Australia (MCSCA) to organise community events to promote and celebrate multiculturalism, for example, the annual Harmony Day celebrations and End of Year Get Together, thus raising community awareness of the richness and diversity of our Central Australian ethnic cultures. This service is funded by the Northern Territory Department of Chief Minister through Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA)
