Community Support

Connection, care and a place to belong

About this stream

Our Community Support stream is the heart of ISWA — a welcoming first point of contact for anyone who needs someone to listen, a warm referral, or a chance to feel less alone.

We host regular drop-in sessions at our Lakemba centre and run outreach events across Bankstown and Canterbury so that no one in our community is isolated.

What's included

  • Emotional support and counselling referrals
  • Social connection programs and friendship groups
  • Community events, cultural celebrations and outreach
  • Warm referrals to specialist services across Greater Sydney

Who it's for

  • Open to all community members
  • Newly arrived migrants and refugees especially welcome
  • Multilingual support available
