Everything You Need to Settle in Australia
Five dedicated services — each designed around the real challenges immigrants face every day.
Jobs Coordination
Navigating the Australian job market takes more than a good resume. Our volunteer mentors coach you on Aussie resume format, interview culture, salary negotiation, and professional networking — covering every step from your first application to your first job offer.
What's Included:
- ✓ Resume & LinkedIn localisation
- ✓ Mock interview coaching
- ✓ Industry networking introductions
Accommodation Help
Sydney's rental market is fast-moving and unforgiving for newcomers. We help you prepare a compelling application, identify safe and affordable suburbs, understand tenant rights under NSW law, and transition smoothly from temporary to permanent housing.
What's Included:
- ✓ Application preparation
- ✓ Tenant rights briefing
- ✓ Emergency short-term housing referrals
Documentation
From your TFN to Medicare, banking to driver's licences — Australian bureaucracy has a specific order and timeline that matters. We create your personalised documentation roadmap and guide you through every form, every step, in the right sequence.
What's Included:
- ✓ TFN & ABN registration
- ✓ Medicare & myGov setup
- ✓ Banking & ID document guidance
1st Day Support
Your first 24 hours shape your entire journey. A trained Share Happiness volunteer meets you at Sydney Airport, helps you set up your SIM card, loads your Opal card, gets you to your accommodation safely, and orients you to your new neighbourhood.
What's Included:
- ✓ Airport welcome & named sign
- ✓ SIM card & Opal card setup
- ✓ Neighbourhood orientation walk
Personal Buddy Program
Documents and jobs matter — but so does friendship. Our Personal Buddy Program matches you with a trained local volunteer who becomes your guide, cultural decoder, and friend for your first 12 months in Australia. This is the service our alumni mention most.

- ✓ Personalised matching based on interests
- ✓ Monthly meet-ups for 12 months
- ✓ Cultural and professional guidance
