About the Committee
The Community Welfare Sub-Committee of PCSWC supports Pakistani community members across Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania by providing settlement guidance, welfare information, and community support pathways. The committee focuses on helping both new arrivals and existing community members through awareness sessions, mentorship support, and community connectivity, while building long-term programs that improve integration and wellbeing.
