MCCI

Multicultural Communities Council of Illawarra

MCCI is proud to announce the launch of the Shoalhaven Hub! After years of working with local communities and stakeholders we have co-designed a meeting space for people from a multicultural and refugee background.

We provide a range of services to help you settle into your new life in the region or to tailor an aged care plan to meet your needs. Our services promote independence, healthy living, community participation and social connections.

The Welcome Experience

The Welcome Experience is a free service supporting essential workers and their families who are considering moving or have made the move to the Illawarra Shoalhaven regions. 

We know that when people feel part of the community they live in, they have a better lifestyle experience and as a result, stay in communities longer. 

The service connects essential workers and their families with local people and resources to help with life stuff everything from the practicalities of finding housing, choosing childcare, exploring job opportunities for partners, or even introducing you to your neighbours!
