The Australian Migration and Settlement Awards recognise the good work of organisations and individuals that assist new migrants and refugees to settle, to feel included and to participate.

Successful settlement is built on a foundation of shared understanding and hard work – by new migrants and by those who support them.

Becoming part of the Australian community is a process of building new networks, creating new friendships and learning to navigate new systems and processes.

Community organisations dedicated to settlement and achievement are an integral part of this process. The Migration and Settlement Awards will showcase the best these organisations have to offer, promote innovative ideas and highlight individual excellence.
