Settlement services for recently arrived migrants, refugees and humanitarian entrants are a part of MigrantLINK’s service program. The program is targeted to family stream migrants and humanitarian entrants. Settlement services focus on direct assistance to individuals, information sessions and forums, and also include community capacity building and advice/support to other organisations working with recently arrived communities. Direct services to individuals are currently provided in the Northern Beaches area, and include orientation services (information, referral, and casework), integration, inclusion and advocacy services (supporting enhanced access to mainstream services) and community development services (to support stronger community infrastructure).

We provide case work services two days a week at Northern Beaches College of TAFE, Brookvale: these include a Tibetan-specific service on Wednesdays, and a generalist service on Thursdays. We are currently negotiating to deliver settlement services a third day in Dee Why (we will advise of the day/location once finalised). We provide follow-up services from MigrantLINK's Hornsby office two days a week.
