Boronia Multicultural Services Inc Competitors

SSI is a national not-for-profit organisation providing life-changing human and social services. With community at the heart of everything we do, our purpose is to empower individuals, children, families and communities from diverse backgrounds and identities to fully participate in the economic, social, civic and diverse cultural life of Australia, creating a more equitable, resilient, enriched and inclusive society. Since 2018, Queensland-based Access Community Services has been part of the SSI family. And with the opening of our Victorian office that same year, SSI now provides an extensive footprint across the eastern coast of Australia. We realise that no one organisation can achieve social change in isolation. We partner with federal and state government departments and agencies, community-minded businesses and individuals, and we build relationships with domestic and global human-service led organisations and NFPs. We are an umbrella organisation for 15 migrant resource centres, multicultural services and specialist human-services agencies that work together on program delivery, advocacy and sector development.

For 25 years, Multicultural Australia (formerly Multicultural Development Australia) has been welcoming refugees, people seeking asylum, international students and other new arrivals to Queensland with the goal of creating a fairer, more prosperous society for all Queenslanders. We support more than 5,000 newly arrived Queenslanders every year, including refugees, international students, people seeking asylum and migrants. We help them to settle into their new lives, build connections in their communities, find work and study opportunities, learn new skills and feel at home. We also work with individuals, communities, business and government to help build a more welcoming Queensland through advocacy, cultural training and community events that bring people together, foster understanding and recognise the valuable contribution that new arrivals and migrants make to Queensland.

Justice Connect is a specialist legal service that brings together the best of Australia’s corporate and legal assistance sectors to help ensure that people facing disadvantage, and the organisations that support them, can access justice. Alongside our role in connecting community lawyers and their clients with corporate lawyers ‘giving back’ to the community and volunteering their skills, we also provide dedicated legal support to clients through our growing number of innovative programs. We also work closely with lawyers to build and strengthen lawyers’ commitment to their pro bono responsibilities and to support them to undertake pro bono work, and we challenge and change unfair laws and policies that cause or perpetuate injustice.
