Get involved
A centre run by migrant workers, for migrant workers
At the Refugee and Migrant Workers Centre, our work is guided by the voices, experiences and leadership of migrant and refugee workers. We build on this foundation to strengthen community leadership, develop skills and organise collectively to improve workplace conditions and support one another.
Why it matters
The difference your voice makes
We believe in the power of migrant workers coming together in solidarity. Our diverse skills, experiences, languages and cultures are our strength. By getting involved, you help build collective power to shape the systems that affect our lives and overcome the barriers our communities face.
Multicultural Safety Ambassador Program
At the heart of the Centre.
Our Multicultural Safety Ambassador Program builds on the strength, trust, and connections within migrant communities. We support community leaders to share information and connect workers to help in ways that are culturally safe, accessible, and grounded in lived experience.
Our Ambassadors bring valuable language skills, cultural knowledge, and community leadership. They play a vital role in promoting work health and safety, helping workers understand their rights, and supporting them to make informed decisions about their work.
By making information more accessible and trusted, Ambassadors help break down barriers such as language, visa concerns, isolation, and insecure work, barriers that often prevent workers from seeking support.
Ambassadors support the Centre through
- Community outreach across metropolitan and regional NSW
- Sharing multilingual work health and safety information and resources
- Supporting education sessions, workshops, and community events
- Connecting workers with practical support and services
- Building relationships with community organisations and local networks
- Promoting safer and fairer workplaces within their communities
We encourage applications from people who
- Have strong connections to migrant or refugee communities
- Are bilingual or multilingual
- Care deeply about workplace safety, fairness, and community wellbeing
- Have experience in community engagement, advocacy, volunteering, or leadership
- Value cultural and linguistic diversity and supporting others
Volunteer with us
