Success Stories from Our Community
Mr. Dileep Jose & Family, Healthcare Worker – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Relocating to Griffith, NSW, on July 10th, 2023, was a significant step for our family, but The Welcome Experience Team made it a smooth and heartwarming transition. As the first family to benefit from this initiative, we were deeply touched by the care and support we received. Ms. Marg Couch personally welcomed us at the airport, arranged a fully furnished apartment, and guided us through every step of settling in. Her patience, kindness, and unwavering support turned what could have been a stressful move into a delightful experience. From addressing our concerns to making us feel at home, Ms. Marg and her team ensured we could confidently embrace our new community. The Welcome Experience is truly a brilliant initiative, and we are incredibly grateful to Ms. Marg and the team for making Griffith feel not just like a new home but a better home.”
Mr. Govind & Family, Registered Nurse – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Our journey to Griffith was made incredibly smooth thanks to The Welcome Experience. From the moment we arrived from the UK, we were warmly greeted at the airport by Ms. Marg Couch, who ensured we had a rental car, guided us through grocery shopping, and took us to our new home on the very first day. On the second day, Ms. Katie Pastro, also a dedicated member of The Welcome Experience, helped us settle in further by assisting with opening a bank account, converting our driving licenses, and navigating Centrelink processes. We also had the opportunity to attend the Griffith Connection event, where I met my newly joined colleagues, making the transition even more enjoyable. This thoughtful and comprehensive support made our move to Griffith seamless and set the tone for a wonderful new beginning in Australia.”
Mr Manu Francis & Family, Registered Nurse – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We are incredibly grateful to the amazing welcome team, especially Marg and Katie, for their exceptional kindness and generosity. When we arrived in Griffith, we faced a challenging situation as the apartment provided by the hospital was under maintenance. Marg and Katie went above and beyond to help us find a new home and guided us through everything from opening a bank account to registering for essential government services. Their unwavering support and selflessness made our transition to Griffith seamless and stress-free. We feel truly blessed to have had them by our side during this time. Thank you, Marg and Katie, for being such wonderful and inspiring individuals. Your help has meant the world to us”
