Multicultural Support

At the Skills and Jobs Centre we are dedicated to helping people from a diverse range of backgrounds. We celebrate our diverse community and acknowledge the unique experiences of people from Indigenous and migrant backgrounds.

Finding work in a new town can be challenging and when facing barriers, such as language, lack of local connections and/or prejudice it can seem impossible. We are able to help you develop a plan and pathways to gain new skills, showcase the skills you already have and connect you with local networks.

We look forward to working with you to help navigate your career path.

Below are useful links to help you along the way.
