Australian Migrant Resource Centre

Australian Migrant Resource Centre Australian Migrant Resource Centre is a leading settlement agency in South Australia.

The Australian Migrant Resource Centre (AMRC) is an independent, non-government, leading settlement agency servicing all of South Australia. The AMRC’s purpose is to support the effective settlement and participation of people from refugee and migrant backgrounds, particularly those who are new arrivals to South Australia. Using a community development approach, the AMRC supports new arrivals to c

ontribute effectively to South Australia’s society, culture, economy and environment. Since its establishment in 1979, the AMRC has worked with many migrant and refugee settlement groups, helping them to adjust to their new homeland, become self-reliant and develop linkages with the broader community and their local ethnic communities. The AMRC’s vision is of equality of access, opportunity and participation for all South Australians from refugee and migrant backgrounds. The AMRC believes that its client groups have a fundamental right to respect, privacy and safety; equality of opportunity and independence through community and workforce participation; and cultural expression. The AMRC is committed to achieving the best settlement outcomes for its client groups by developing, maintaining and enhancing partnerships with all spheres of government, other service providers, communities and the private sector, and by advocating on behalf of its client groups and representing their interests to all levels of government. The AMRC contributes to the development of public policy on settlement and migration matters and to mainstream public policy and service planning that affects health, wellbeing, access, equity and socioeconomic inclusion for Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The AMRC has a number of local migrant resource centres in several metropolitan and regional locations providing settlement and other allied services to new and establishing communities and supporting community cultural diversity, development and harmony. The AMRC is a Service Excellence Organisation and is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

AMRC stands with the people of Nepal and Nepali communities across South Australia following the devastating floods in Nepal.

Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones, those still waiting for news, and everyone worried about family and friends affected by the disaster. We extend our deepest condolences to the Nepali community during this incredibly difficult time.

Australians concerned about the welfare of family or friends in Nepal can contact DFAT’s 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on 1300 555 135 (within Australia) or +61 2 6261 3305 (from overseas).
Our Centres are open across South Australia if you would like our assistance.

Some stories stay with you long after you’ve heard them.
A Million Stories is a documentary produced by the Australian Migrant Resource Centre, bringing together nine personal journeys of migration, resilience, identity and belonging.

🚨 AusAlert – Australia’s new national emergency warning system that sends alerts directly to compatible mobile phones, tablets and smartwatches - will be tested on Monday.
⏰ Time in SA: Between 1:30pm and 1:45pm

During the test window, compatible devices may:
🔊 Play a loud siren-like sound for about 10 seconds. This will override 'silent' and 'do not disturb' device settings
📳 Vibrate
📩 Display a message confirming the test

This is only a test, so you don’t need to do anything.

If receiving an AusAlert test message will disrupt you or cause you or someone you know to feel unsafe, turn off your devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time and leave them off for 24 hours.

The national test will help ensure the AusAlert system is ready to deliver critical information to keep you safe during future emergencies.

Over the past few months, we've had the privilege of working with communities across South Australia to talk about water.

From Adelaide, Salisbury and Murray Bridge to Whyalla, Mount Gambier, Naracoorte and Bordertown, we've shared conversations about understanding water bills, accessing water concessions and connecting people with the right supports.

Through workshops, community events and one-on-one conversations, we have shared information, built connections, answered questions and supported families to access the help they need.

We sincerely thank the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) for supporting this initiative through the Consumer Advocacy and Research Fund (CARF), and our valued partners, the Department of Human Services SA - Concessions Unit, SA Water and South Australian Council of Social Service for sharing their expertise and supporting our community education sessions throughout this journey.
