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.
Framed by the reflections of Kaurna Elder Aunty Elaine Magias, the documentary explores what it means to leave home, build a new life, develop a connection to Country and find a sense of belonging in Australia.
Originally created for Refugee Week 2026, A Million Stories celebrates the strength, experiences and contributions of refugee and migrant background communities.
We are deeply grateful to every individual who generously shared their story. Through these voices, we hope to inspire understanding, encourage meaningful conversations and celebrate the many journeys that continue to shape our communities.
To watch the full 14-minute documentary and learn more about the participants, visit our website: https://amrc.org.au/gallery/a-million-stories/
We all have a story. Every story matters. Together, they shape who we are.

🚨 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.
