About the project
A welcoming space to connect, learn and grow
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.
