About SisterWorks
SisterWorks is a not-for-profit social enterprise, with its head office based in Springvale, Melbourne.
SisterWorks’ mission is to support women from refugee, asylum seeker or migrant backgrounds to improve their confidence, mental wellbeing, sense of belonging and economic outlook. SisterWorks does this through providing learning opportunities in a safe environment where Sisters can build their skills and community, and gain both the knowledge and the confidence to seek employment or further study. Our vision is an Australia where all migrant women are given the opportunities to become economically empowered.
The SisterWorks model, 'Work Empowers Women', is centred around empowerment, fostering a sense of independence and providing opportunities for building a community, learning new skills, and earning an income. This is achieved via our Empowerment Hubs in Carlton and Dandenong.
SisterWorks has been able to expand the reach of its model via an exciting partnership with UN Women. This partnership has provided a platform for growth, transformation and
enhanced external advocacy opportunities and influence, and enabled the organisation to expand its reach outside of Melbourne into regional Victoria. During this period of growth,
SisterWorks has remained committed to seeking engagement and guidance from the women it supports, and is constantly looking for new ways to positively impact on the lives
of more Sisters.
