EXTERNAL SUPPORT
This year we partnered with Sydney Community Forum, which advocates for supporting international students. Sydney Community Forum (SCF) is an independent non-government organisation that has existed since 1974. They work towards social justice, inclusion, and sustainability in a broad region of Sydney. They provide free Intake Assessment and Referral Services (IAR) on mental health, work rights, tenancy and housing, legal advice, education, safety, family and children, and also well-being for international students. Feel free to reach out to them for all the support that suits you the most.
