Who we are?

Auburn Diversity Services Inc. (ADSi) is a community based, non-profit organisation established to promote the principles of multiculturalism, access, equity and social justice.

The organisation is responsible for developing strategies which address the needs of local migrants and focuses on recent arrivals, emerging communities and special needs groups including humanitarian entrants, refugees, women, youth, children, aged and the unemployed – all of CALD backgrounds. ADSi designs and delivers services that aim to build capacity and improve outcomes for disadvantaged people and families. A focus of service delivery has been on providing high quality case management and community development for migrants, humanitarian entrants and refugees who have settled in Auburn and the Central West Sydney to build self reliance and resource individuals / groups to become valued and active community members.

ADSi is committed to promoting and developing a multicultural society through the delivery of settlement and community development services that aim to ensure equitable access and outcomes, as well as participation, for all migrants and refugees clients and communities. All programs and projects of the organisation are underpinned by the principle that everybody should be able to maintain their culture without prejudice or disadvantage and should be encouraged to understand and embrace other cultures.
