Women in Cultural Transition (WCT)
Women in Cultural Transition (WCT) is a multicultural monthly women’s project creating a welcoming and culturally inclusive space for women from diverse backgrounds to connect, learn and support one another.
The project responds to challenges that can arise during settlement and cultural transition, including language barriers, unfamiliar systems, social isolation and limited opportunities for connection. Through practical workshops, guest speakers, wellbeing activities and shared experiences, WCT supports women to strengthen confidence, wellbeing and community belonging.
What the project offers
- Monthly multicultural women’s sessions
- Wellbeing and confidence-building activities
- Guest speakers and practical information
- Social connection and peer support
- Culturally safe and welcoming conversations
- Opportunities to learn about community services and supports

Project structure
WCT is planned as an 18-session project. Each session has its own topic, activities, speakers and session page. New sessions can be added over time without changing the main project page.
Who is it for?
Multicultural women, including migrant, refugee and newly arrived women living in Newcastle and the Hunter region.
