West Welcome Wagon thrives on strong community connections and partnerships across Melbourne’s west. We work closely with local, state and federal government, philanthropic organisations, referral and settlement agencies, corporate and pro bono partners, and our generous donors to support newly arrived asylum seekers and refugees.

Together, these community connections help us build a compassionate, welcoming environment where every person feels safe, supported, and valued.

We acknowledge and wholeheartedly thank all our supporters listed below – your contributions make our work possible!
