Welcome to the ARMIA House
“Providing Holistic Support For New Australians And Other Least Advantaged Australians.”
We are committed to supporting New Australians after their first five years of settlement in Australia. We help to promote socio-economic participation and combat social isolation. Our Mission is to empower mostly but not limited to New Australians i.e. those refugees and migrants who no longer are part of the Australian Government’s settlement program to be part of the workforce or business community to proudly take their place as acknowledged and valued members of Australian society. This is done as a Multicultural Family Support Hub in SE Queensland, through a Holistic Approach. We are symbolically a “Tree” welcoming any “birds” with any needs at any time i.e. a drop-in centre and bridge between New Australians, the Government and other services providers and stakeholders. We assist all disadvantaged mainstream and indigenous persons; it is also a practical way to promote rapid integration and multicultural interactions.
