SCoA is the peak body representing over 97 of Australia’s leading settlement service providers. Our members include agencies, big and small, who are committed to the successful settlement of humanitarian migrants across the country. Their services range from greeting new arrivals at the airport, through to assisting them to secure housing, access services and find their first jobs.
SCOA’s aim is to provide leadership for the sector and represent a unified voice for the many and varied organisations providing settlement services across the country. We take this task seriously, and attempt to ensure that in all of our dealings with government and other stakeholders, our members’ interests are promoted as being of paramount importance.
There are two types of SCOA membership: Full and Associate.
- Full membership is open to all organisations play a key role in delivering settlement services.
- Associate membership is open to other relevant organisations that share the objectives of SCOA.
Full membership of entitles the organisation to vote at SCOA General Meetings and to nominate a representative of the organisation for membership of the SCOA National Executive.
Being an Associate Member entitles organisations to many of the benefits of Full Members, but Associate Members cannot vote at General Meetings or nominate a representative for membership of the National Executive.
