The SETS program aims to equip and empower humanitarian entrants, other eligible permanent migrants (excluding Australian citizens) and their communities to address their settlement needs. It focuses on:
- improving social participation
- economic well-being
- independence
- personal well-being and
- community connectedness.
The program fills an important gap in the post-arrival period for eligible clients who do not have family and other community supports to rely on. The program complements the Humanitarian Settlement Program (HSP). It also supports other Commonwealth aid to humanitarian entrants and for other vulnerable migrants.
The current grant period is 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027.
