Department of Immigration & Multicultural Affairs

If you are funded by the Commonwealth Department of Immigration & Multicultural Affairs under:

  • the Settlement Grants Program

Your Service Agreement says that you will be guided by the following principles:

  • newly arrived migrants must have equal opportunity to realise their full potential and must have equal access to programs and services;
  • every person should be able to maintain his or her culture without prejudice or disadvantage and should be encouraged to understand and embrace other cultures;
  • needs of migrants should, in general, be met by programs and services available to the whole community but special services and programs may be necessary to ensure equality of access and provision; and
  • all services and programs provided by the Funded Agency should be designed and operated in full consultation with clients, and self-help should be encouraged as much as possible with a view to helping migrants to become self-reliant quickly.
