About Us

Who
We Are

SETSCoP is a collaboration of settlement service providers across Australia, who support vulnerable migrants and refugees under the Settlement Engagement and Transition Support (SETS) program.

We know that by coming together to collaborate, share best practice, innovative ideas, and our experience, we can address challenges and better settle migrants and refugees into the local community.

SETSCoP is facilitated by Migration Council Australia (MCA) in partnership with settlement service providers to enable sharing and learning, and improve outcomes for people supported through the SETS program and the wider community.
