 I joined this group when we were moving into our first rental place in Melbourne, and the warmth of the community and the incredibly helpful admins made my transition so much easier.

As a migrant starting from scratch, I thought it would take a long time to rebuild the high-quality lifestyle we had back home, but this group changed that completely.

I now volunteer whenever I can - not only to give back, but also because it helps me stay connected, socialise, and make new friends. Coming from a different culture, volunteering also gives me the chance to learn and experience things I had never seen before, and the creativity here often sparks new ideas. It has even helped me understand how to plan and manage events on a large scale.

Thank you, Cath and Jennie, for providing such an amazing platform!
