A beautiful beginning to the Respectful Relationships, Stronger Families program! ✨

On Tuesday, 6 October, we welcomed a wonderful group of Persian-speaking women to our first session, facilitated by a certified counsellor from MIC and supported by Farsi-speaking MIC staff.

Together, we shared migration experiences, the challenges of navigating two cultures, and reflections on family and relationships. One powerful message emerged: Our journeys don’t just shape us; they also give us strength. 💕
The resilience we develop, the challenges we overcome, and the knowledge we gain help strengthen our families and enrich our communities.

Through laughter, listening, and shared experiences, we found common ground and meaningful connections. Somehow, three hours flew by! 😊
We look forward to the next three sessions as we continue to connect, learn, and grow together. 🌱

This program is proudly delivered by Migrant Information Centre (Eastern Melbourne) in partnership with the Australian Iranian Society of Victoria (Aisov Victoria)

✨ شروعی زیبا برای برنامه **«روابط محترمانه، خانواده‌های قوی‌تر»** ✨

سه‌شنبه ۶ اکتبر، نخستین جلسه این برنامه با حضور جمعی از بانوان فارسی‌زبان برگزار شد.

این نشست با همراهی مشاور متخصص از MIC و کارکنان فارسی‌زبان این مرکز برگزار شد. در فضایی صمیمی و دوستانه، درباره تجربه مهاجرت، زندگی میان دو فرهنگ، خانواده و روابطمان با یکدیگر گفتگو کردیم.

یاد گرفتیم که تجربه‌های زندگی، حتی چالش‌هایی که پشت سر گذاشته‌ایم، بخشی از توانمندی‌های ما را شکل داده‌اند. تاب‌آوری، دانش، مهارت‌ها و تجربه‌هایی که در طول این مسیر به دست آورده‌ایم، سرمایه‌هایی ارزشمند هستند که می‌توانند به خودمان، خانواده‌هایمان و جامعه کمک کنند. 💚

ما در آغاز این مسیر هستیم و مشتاقیم در سه جلسه آینده نیز در کنار یکدیگر ادامه دهیم، بیشتر بیاموزیم و از تجربه‌های همدیگر بهره ببریم. 🌿

این برنامه به ابتکار **مرکز اطلاعات مهاجران شرق ملبورن (MIC)** و با همکاری **کانون ایرانیان ویکتوریا** برگزار می‌شود.

✅ Empowering communities starts with sharing knowledge and creating safe spaces for important conversations.

✴️ MIC was delighted to be involved in another successful place-based learning session for the Chinese communities in Monash and Whitehorse.

✴️ Delivered in partnership with Power Neighbourhood House and Seniors Rights Victoria as part of the Working Together Project, the session provided valuable information and strengthened community awareness around elder abuse prevention and available support services.

❇️ The positive feedback from participants reinforced the importance of providing culturally accessible information on issues that affect community wellbeing.

❇️ Many attendees shared that the session equipped them with practical knowledge that could help them recognise and respond to similar situations in the future.

✅ Community voices shaping better health services

✔️ The Migrant Information Centre (Eastern Melbourne) was pleased to contribute to the Eastern Health Consumer Forum, bringing the perspectives and experiences of culturally diverse communities into an important conversation about the future of health services.

✔️ Our CEO, Rachna Muddagouni, joined the panel to reflect on what genuine community engagement looks like—and why trust, belonging and lived experience matter when designing accessible and responsive services. Sawm Saunte, Manager, Settlement Services, joined the forum to promote MIC services and seek consumer feedback.

✔️ At MIC, we see every day the important role community organisations play in bridging the gap between communities and mainstream services. Our staff bring cultural knowledge, language skills, lived experience and trusted relationships that help people navigate services while also helping organisations better understand the communities they serve.

✨ A key message from the discussion was that meaningful engagement must go beyond consultation. It means listening to voices that are not always heard, creating culturally safe opportunities for participation, recognising that people's experiences are different, and—most importantly—closing the feedback loop so communities can see how their contribution has influenced change.

❇️ It was wonderful to hear about the Hakha Chin community’s involvement in co-designing culturally appropriate hospital food. This is a practical example of what can happen when communities are invited to help shape services rather than simply receive them.

✅ Rachna was delighted to join Tom East - Consumer Peer Worker at Maroondah Inpatient Units and Roberta Styles Wood, Senior Consumer Lead at Safer Care Victoria, on the panel and hear about the broader work underway across Eastern Health.

✨ One message particularly resonated with all:

✴️ People should not simply be recipients of healthcare—they should be partners in shaping it.

❇️ Thank you to Health for creating a space where consumers, community organisations and health professionals can listen, learn and work together.
MIC looks forward to continuing our partnership and ensuring the voices of migrant and refugee communities contribute to more inclusive, accessible and culturally responsive health services.

✨We had the honour of welcoming Luba Grigorovitch MP to our office.
They are the Minister for Youth and the Minister for Carers and Volunteers.
We had a genuine, heartfelt conversation about the communities we serve each day.

✅In the room, we had our Bicultural Workers, Youth Workers, volunteers, carers, and Board members, all sharing their experiences openly and honestly. We talked about the real pressures facing young people from the Myanmar community and other newly arrived and marginalised communities right here in Melbourne's east.

✔️What stood out most was how deeply everyone listened. This was not a formal briefing. It was a real exchange between people who care about the same things.

We are grateful to Minister Grigorovitch for making the time and for hearing us. These conversations are how change actually begins.

Thank you also to the Victorian Multicultural Commission for your continued support of communities like ours across Victoria.

A big thank you to Remy, Community Education Officer from Metro Trains Melbourne for delivering a fantastic train safety session for our Chinese community.

Participants learned important tips for staying safe while travelling on trains and gained confidence in using public transport independently to access services, activities, and opportunities in the community.

Thank you also to Jessica and our amazing volunteers for helping make the session such a success. Your support helps create stronger, more connected communities.
