Western Sydney Migrant Resource Centre has expanded into Campbelltown to meet the growing demand in the Macarthur region.
The new office was opened earlier this week.
“Our expansion into Campbelltown is a direct recognition of the growing need for supports and services in Macarthur,’’ says acting CEO Mohan Gunasekara.
“I’m proud to be leading an organisation that has its heart in the community and works to empower some of our newest residents to settle and thrive.”
The Western Sydney Migrant Resource Centre plays a crucial role in the settlement and integration of refugees and humanitarian migrants by offering vital resources, guidance and a strong support network to those who are rebuilding their lives.
From settlement support and employment programs, to youth programs and aged services, the Western Sydney Migrant Resource Centre assists in addressing the multifaceted needs of refugees and migrants.
Minister for Multiculturalism Steve Kamper attended the official opening and also announced the winners of a community competition to name the centre’s two new community rooms.
Before expanding to Campbelltown, the centre provided community outreach and support to new, established and emerging communities in the Liverpool region.
“The NSW Government has a strong and proud history of working collaboratively with the Western Sydney Migrant Resource Centre,” Mr Kamper said.
“This partnership has been a vital relationship over many years, most recently it was instrumental in providing support services to the Liverpool region’s diverse communities during Covid-19.
“The centre is a shining example of how local communities are best placed to find local solutions.”
“This centre will provide vital support as the Macarthur region keeps growing,” said Member for Campbelltown Greg Warren, who also attended the opening.
“The programs run by the Western Sydney Migrant Resource centre are outstanding and the support that they provide is so valuable in our community.”
