Melaleuca Refugee Centre

We work with individuals and families to build supportive connections with community and partner organisations.

As a small organisation, our capacity to service our clients is underpinned by our longstanding collaborative partnerships.

The sharing of information, experience and expertise with individuals, professionals, organisations, communities, and other government agencies ensures our services and programs are of the highest quality, relevant to our clients’ needs, and result in enduring positive outcomes.

Our approach to cultivating these essential partnerships is to:

• partner with the individuals we serve as experts of their lives and their communities

• contribute to, and share wisdom with, Specialist networks inclusive of the Forum of Australian Services for Survivors of Torture and Trauma (FASSTT) as well as a Refugee Services Community of Practice, informing service improvement to our clients

• open new avenues for clients to access a range of services by creating new networks and supporting existing networks

• influence other organisations, individuals, and communities to transform and grow inclusion and increased access that connects the people we serve with the wider community, in line with their outcomes

• build a strong volunteer base
