ABOUT SISTERWORKS

SisterWorks is a not-for-profit social enterprise based in Victoria.

SisterWorks’ mission is to support women from refugee, asylum seeker or migrant backgrounds to improve their confidence, mental wellbeing, sense of belonging and economic outlook. SisterWorks does this through providing learning opportunities in a safe environment where Sisters can build their skills and community and gain both the knowledge and the confidence to seek employment or further study. Our vision is an Australia where all migrant women are given the opportunities to become economically empowered.

The SisterWorks model, 'Work Empowers Women', is centred around empowerment, fostering a sense of independence and providing opportunities for building a community, learning new skills, and earning an income. This is achieved via our Empowerment Hubs in Abbotsford, Bendigo and Dandenong, as well as our Mobile Hubs in areas where access to services are limited.

SisterWorks is committed to seeking engagement and guidance from the women we support and is constantly looking for new ways to positively impact the lives of more Sisters.
