This evaluation has been funded by the Health Promotion Service, Northern Sydney Central Coast Area Health Service (NSCCAHS) and conducted by Dr Amanda Wise and Ms Kylie Sait at the Centre for Research on Social Inclusion (CRSI), Macquarie University. The aim of the study was to evaluate the short and long term impact on participants of the program. We were interested in exploring whether this approach to helping refugee families settle in the local community has any advantages over traditional community settlement models.
