Welcome to Australia website
Website: www.welcometoaustralia.org.au
Welcome Australia would like to say a big "Welcome to Australia" to asylum seekers, refugees, new arrivals and other migrants. They'd like you to throw a party in your home, street, office, sporting club or other community group to very publicly celebrate the beauty and depth that diversity adds to our nation. They'd like you to create opportunities for new and authentic friendships, for new and long-term Australians to share their stories and to be a part of cultivating a culture of welcome in this nation we now share as our common home
