สวัสดี, NSW! 👋

Did you know our state is home to 36,085 people of Thai ancestry?

This community spans every generation:
👶 22.8% aged 19 and under
💼 54.4% aged 20 – 44
🌿 22.9% aged 45 and over

There are also significantly more women than men of Thai ancestry in NSW.

From the golden temples of Bangkok 🛕 that brought Buddhist traditions across the sea’s that are now woven into NSW communities, Thai heritage brings its own unique flavour to local life. And of course, that flavour is best tasted over a shared plate of som tam 🥗🌶️, Thailand's iconic spicy papaya salad.

Do you have Thai ancestry? Drop your story in the comments below! We'd love to hear about your family traditions, memories and experiences. 💬👇

Meet the DigiVan 🚐 a mobile multimedia studio travelling across the Central Coast as part of the In My Shoes Program. It’s giving young people the chance to create podcasts, films and digital stories about the issues and experiences that matter to them.

More than 500 young people have already used the DigiVan’s professional equipment to bring their ideas to life. And it’s about more than learning how to use a camera.

🎥 Read the full story: https://www.thenewpointmagazine.com.au/digital/in-my-shoes-digi-van/

The project is supported by Multicultural NSW’s COMPACT Program.

⚖️ A new country means new laws. Knowing your rights is one of the most important parts of settling in NSW.

The NSW Settlement Hub can help you understand the Australian legal system, including the courts, police, complaint agencies, and your rights and responsibilities under Australian law, including protection from discrimination.

If you need legal assistance, you can also find free or low-cost support, including community legal services and specialist advice for refugees and immigration matters.
