Last week, ADSI visited Berala Public School for .

We had a great time sharing what ADSI does and how we support refugee and migrant families to settle, grow confidence, and feel more connected in the community.❤️

Our Playgroup and Support Group clients also shared their own stories about their journey with ADSI. It was a proud moment to see our clients speak so confidently and share their experiences, and the feedback from the audience was very positive.

A special thank you to Firdos, ADSI's Families & Children Support Worker, for her support and involvement in making this visit such a meaningful experience. 🫶

Recently, ADSI came together with our clients to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival - a traditional festival that honours heritage, family, and togetherness. They were fun days of making zongzi, sharing stories, and enjoying music, dancing, and plenty of good food and laughter.

A big thank you to our amazing local staff who celebrate the festival and helped make this day possible for our clients and community ❤️

We loved seeing everyone come together. How did you celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival this year?

🥰Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making the ADSI's Refugee Week Dinner Celebration such a meaningful evening - our clients, speakers, partners, and community members. It was a truly warm and heartfelt night, filled with a sense of hope and togetherness.

ADSI is proud to work alongside partners to support local communities every week in practical, meaningful ways. Last week, ADSI partnered with the Transcultural Mental Health Centre to run a mental health workshop (16 June) in Mandarin for Chinese community members in Auburn.

41 people joined a session focused on mental health, wellbeing, and where to get support when needed. Dr Noris led the workshop in a really open and welcoming way, with people asking questions and sharing their experiences. Several participants also said they’d like to see more sessions like this in the future.

Workshops like this help make mental health information easier to understand and support people to get help earlier. ❤️

ADSI's English class highlights something powerful happening every week in this space: people coming together to learn, practice, and grow in confidence through language.

For many individuals, learning English is more than just a skill, it’s a pathway to independence. It can mean being able to communicate at a doctor’s appointment, support children with schoolwork, navigate employment opportunities, or simply feel more confident engaging in everyday life.

This class is not just about grammar or vocabulary, it’s about connection, opportunity, and belonging.

If you or someone you know would like to join ADSI’s English classes, please reach out to express interest and learn more about upcoming sessions. Contact Sherbanu or Firdos on 0410 997 472.

A lovely afternoon with three valued clients enjoying the sunshine and each other’s company. With the support of ADSI's aged care services, they’re able to stay independent at home while staying connected to their community and friendships that bring joy to everyday life.

Moments like this are a reminder that aged care is about more than support, it’s about connection, confidence, and quality of life.

If you or a loved one could benefit from support at home, get in touch with ADSI to learn more T: 8737 5500 E: [email protected]

This week we’re recognising Refugee Week 2026, a time to honour the strength, courage, and contributions of people from refugee backgrounds in our communities.

This year’s theme, “A Million Stories,” is a powerful reminder that behind every journey is a unique story of resilience, hope, and new beginnings. Together, these stories form the rich fabric of our shared community and the Australia we call home.

For the ADSI community, Refugee Week is especially meaningful as we celebrate 30 years of service. Over those three decades, we’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families as they settle, rebuild, and grow into new chapters of their lives here in Australia. Our work has always been grounded in respect, trust, and shared humanity.

Refugee Week is also a chance to look forward - continuing to strengthen belonging, open doors to opportunity, and ensure people from refugee backgrounds are supported not just to arrive, but to thrive.

A heartfelt thank you to Uncle John and Aunty Liz (Liz N John Dickson) for facilitating our staff Reconciliation Day on 15 June.

Our ADSI team had the privilege of coming together for a deeply meaningful experience, beginning with a powerful smoking ceremony that set the tone for reflection, respect, and learning. We were then guided through storytelling, cultural knowledge sharing, and a beautiful introduction to bush foods, including Aunty’s bush jam.

Days like this are an important part of putting reconciliation into practice, helping to build understanding, respect, and genuine connection. They also deepen our appreciation of the strength, resilience, and ongoing cultural continuity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As a team made up of people from diverse cultural backgrounds, this shared learning strengthens how we work together and how we support our wider community.

We are truly grateful to Uncle John and Aunty Liz for their generosity, cultural leadership, and time. We also look forward to seeing the final staff palm print artwork, which will be a lasting reminder of this shared experience.

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and culture with us.

Recent sewing classes delivered by ADSI in partnership with Arts and Cultural Exchange - ACE brought together a lovely group of women in a warm and welcoming space to learn sewing, share skills, and build confidence.

Some participants are complete beginners, while others are more experienced and building their skills to run alteration services in their local communities. Everyone learns at their own pace, supporting and encouraging one another along the way.

Over time, the class has become more than just learning sewing, it’s become a space for connection, routine, and belonging.

Through this partnership, we’re helping create real opportunities for skill-building, confidence, and community connection.

Join our next sewing class - learn new skills, meet others, and grow your confidence.
