الجمعية السريانية في ملبورن..Australian Socio-Syriac Ass

ASSAV

We are a newly-arrived group from Iraq and define ourselves as Australian Socio- Syriac Association Victoria (ASSAV). In the last 3 years, more than 250 Families settled in Victoria, hopeful of establishing a new-life-chapter. Whilst core-settlement-services meet some needs, many issues require separate tailored-community-led responses. The ‘ASSAV’ is founded to: -improve long-term health-wellbeing, -establish strong social-connections, inter-cultural-community relations -coordinate strategic education and awareness-raising about opportunities -address broad & culturally specific member's concerns -connect key community stakeholders/opportunities. We have experience delivering preliminary community-strengthening-activities within Brimbank area and have established some key relationships with Settlement organisations. Our committee leaders meet on a regular fortnightly basis.
