Fed: Govt funds migrant settlement services
The federal government has announced it will give community organisations $18.4 million
to provide a range of settlement services for new Australians.
Immigration Minister PHILIP RUDDOCK says the services help refugees and migrants adjust
to life in Australia, access services and participate fully in their community.
The money is being provided under the Community Settlement Services Scheme.
The settlement services include job search, housing and education assistance.
Mr RUDDOCK says 56 projects will receive funding for one year, 81 will receive funding
for two years and 50 will get funding for three years.
