“Even a person born in Australia will not have the information and knowledge we are gaining from Arabic Welfare sessions about Australia; it’s history, tiers of government, the constitution and the Australian values and beliefs”

“I thought I would never drive in my life. The idea of getting a license was out of the question for me. But thanks to Arabic Welfare driving program I am confident now that I am ready to drive and be independent.”

“I never knew what motivation meant before Arabic Welfare. I now feel empowered to use it every day of my life and for that I am very grateful.”

“Initially it was hard not to get out of the car and go to the pokies, but now with Arabic Welfare help I have been able to drive by the venue without stopping and getting out.”

“If we knew then, what we know now about our rights and the support we can get, we would have behaved differently in some cases and asked for support and help when we needed it.”
