AFRI-AUS CARE
We work to address mental health taboos within African and other Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities. We provide assistance and support to individuals through primary mental health intervention and intensive support programs and
by counselling clients’ families. Involvement in these programs enables individuals to better integrate into Australian society.
OUR MISSION
Improving the mental health of migrant youth at risk and their families by building bridges with mainstream services.
OUR VISION
We are building a future where services will acknowledge and are sensitive to African and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people´s perception of mental health. By recognizing cultural differences, we aim to increase social participation and decrease isolation within the South East Melbourne region.
WHO WE ARE
Afri-Aus Care is a not for profit community service organisation run by a group of qualified professionals, many from migrant backgrounds. The organisation was founded by Selba Gondoza-Luka, who experienced hardship after arriving in Australia and made it her mission to help those experiencing similar difficulties.
UBUNTU & The Postive Change Model
UBUNTU, I am because we are. By using The Positive Change Model, we bring grassroot community members together to strengthen each other in our society. Making Australia a better place to be for everyone.

PROJECTS & PARTNERSHIP
Many clients come to Afri-Aus Care (AAC) with unresolved trauma. This trauma may have occurred in their country of origin and/or after settling here in Australia. Because of the stigma that mental illness attracts amongst many African and other CALD communities, it may remain undiagnosed and untreated. AAC works to remove these barriers and improve personal wellbeing.
NDIS
The NDIS is a new way of providing individualised support for people with disability, their families and carers. The NDIS will provide all Australians with a permanent and significant disability, aged under 65, with the reasonable and necessary supports they need to live an ordinary life.
