The Success Works - Opening Doors Project
The project aims to open the doors of employment for women with a criminal record by educating businesses in the Parramatta region on navigating the Role vs Record vs Risk process. Through a series of information sessions, an online portal enabling both employers and candidates to assess roles/risk profiles and support employment pathways, they aim to open the doors of 100 businesses to including women with a record in their inclusive recruitment processes.
Edu-fy
The Retirees in School Engagement (ARISE) project will utilise the untapped skills and expertise of retirees in the Parramatta region. It creates an intergenerational community learning and mentoring experience for retirees, students and teachers. It gives retirees a way to stay in touch with their community, provides students with skills and support and is an extra avenue for teachers to support their student’s career paths.
House of Welcome
The Emergency Living Program (EPL) will support refugees and people seeking asylum to access emergency support services including education, health, accommodation and legal services.

EPL will support refugees and people seeking asylum to access emergency support such as food parcels, food vouchers, Opal cards, medications and GP access.
