The Government has announced a new service to support recently arrived migrants, refugees and asylum seekers moving to Canberra, called Integrated Welcome to Canberra Support Service.

The service will focus on newly arrived migrants from any migrant visa category, filling the gaps experienced by people on bridging visas, temporary protection visas, and safe haven enterprise visas.

The key services to be provided under the new initiative are:

• the development of a Welcome to Canberra information pack in hardcopy and digital formats with links to a range of other support services;

• personalised case support for new Canberrans to assist them access services; and

• a biannual ‘Welcome to Canberra’ forum specifically tailored to connect recently arrived migrants, refugees and asylum seekers with the broader community and services.
