This version of the Settlement Processes and Services Guide has been developed as a practical resource to support professionals, service providers, and community organisations working with newly arrived individuals and families across the Barwon region. The guide aims to improve understanding of local settlement pathways, available supports, referral processes, and key points of contact, helping to promote a coordinated approach to settlement support.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all organisations that contributed to the review and update of this guide. The expertise, local knowledge and commitment of our partners have helped ensure the information remains accurate, relevant and reflective of current services available across the Barwon region.
We would like to acknowledge the teams at Cultura, Wyndham Community and Education Centre and The Gordon Skills and Jobs Centre for your significant contributions, local expertise and support in developing this resource for the Barwon region.
The Geelong Settlement Planning Committee is led by Cultura and brings together representatives from government agencies, local service providers, education and training organisations, community groups, and settlement services to support people from refugee and migrant backgrounds as they establish their lives in the Barwon region. Through collaboration, information sharing, and coordinated planning, the committee works to strengthen access to settlement services and improve social, economic, and community participation outcomes for new and emerging communities.
The development of this guide for the Barwon region has been led by Tracey Jeffery and Kara Perrett from the Workforce Australia Local Jobs team for the Barwon region.
