How we can support you

Hear From Our Community

I wish to express my gratitude for the truly excellent services provided by the Italo-Australian Welfare & Cultural Centre Inc. I am most grateful for the constant care, kindness and support given to my mother by the support workers, aged care team and senior management. Thank you for always promptly attending to my requests and for your diligence in providing the best of care to my mother at home. You are an amazing organisation!

We have always found the Centre to be of a very high standard, respectful, able to understand their clients’ cultural needs, and have very proud work ethics. Our mother is extremely well cared for and we are confident that she is in the best of care.

Our experience with the Italian Australian Child Care Centre has been amazing. The educators are so welcoming and friendly and our little girl loves going to “school” each week. The exposure she is getting to the Italian language at such a young age is fantastic. We could not be happier with the centre.

Both my daughters have attended the Italian Australian Child Care Centre for nearly 7 years. My eldest daughter had tried numerous day care centres prior to starting at your centre, but none compared to the care, education and love she received at the Italian Australian Child Care Centre. All the staff are so caring and the same educators and carers have been there to look after both children. The food is amazing and my daughter never stops talking about the pasta! My family is Italian so the girls are learning Italian and this is an added bonus! Hearing them sing Ciao Buongiorno when they get home warms my heart. Grazie mille to the Centre and its caring staff.

I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Centre and to its wonderful team. We are really happy with the level of care, the attention, the curriculum, the food. Most of all, I can see that my child is very happy being at the Centre, so a big thank you to all of you.

I love the warm, loving environment. And best of all, the cultural influence we feel our children need and want.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for sending me my guardian angel to care for me. I am absolutely over the moon having her around. She is a gift from the Universe!

Throughout the years, all staff have been compassionate, caring, helpful and we cannot speak highly enough of them. They have a very caring and empathetic beautiful manner whilst also being professional and extremely efficient in providing us with a seamless service.

I would like to express my appreciation for the home care that our parents are receiving. It is always a pleasure to walk in and see the carers actively engaged with our parents. To see that they are genuinely cared for is a rarity in today's society. Your organisation and the significant assistance that it has given us has allowed us to keep our parents at home, a place where they are comfortable, close to family and friends. The level of care that they receive is excellent, and the patience and understanding which are demonstrated by all of your care team is extremely commendable. Thank you.
