The Bunbury office of MSCWA administers a Federally-funded Settlement Support Program, for new migrants who have arrived in Australia (eligible clients must hold specific visas within the Humanitarian, Family or Skilled streams, or be a dependent of those visa holders). They offer Peer Support groups, group information sessions, craft and social activities for women, free English lessons, Homework Help and other programs for Youth as well as school-aged young people. They also provide some casework, advocacy, and referrals support, may be able to offer help in financial crises.

The ‘Driving to make a Difference’ project is initiated by the Bunbury Multicultural Group and delivered in partnership with the Multicultural Services Centre WA. It gives culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women the opportunity to have their driving lessons and their driving assessment paid for. This project develops the status of women, builds capacity and helps them become more confident and able to access community events and networks and integrate into community easier.

The ‘This is Me’ program presents migrant stories in public spaces and cafes throughout the year. Hosted by the Bunbury Multicultural Group in partnership with the City of Bunbury and ABC South West, people are encouraged to share their stories and experiences of settling into the South West in a safe, welcoming environment. This is Me helps to builds knowledge, awareness, harmony and acceptance in the greater Bunbury community.
