Wednesday Networking: An Evening with the Department of Home Affairs

Wednesday Networking is a platform for members and non-members to meet other like-minded people, providing the chance to create relationships.

The Australian Department of Home Affairs brings together Australia’s federal law enforcement, national and transport security, criminal justice, emergency management, multicultural affairs, settlement services, immigration and border-related functions, working together to keep Australia safe.

Our speakers Rachel and Tarryn are members of the Department’s WA Community Engagement Team. The team manages the Department’s relationships and communication with cultural, religious and ethnic communities. They inform community leaders on developments at the Department, as well as Government messages on key topics such as COVID-19, domestic violence, social cohesion, national security, countering foreign interference and extremism. Steve works with industry to support economic development in WA and will be sharing information about Home Affairs’ Global Talent visa program and developments in the Skilled Migration program.

Come and learn more about the Department of Home Affairs. It’s also an opportunity to raise questions or comment on important topics such as immigration, refugee settlement, border control, multicultural affairs, and national security.
