About us

Mosaic is an independent not for profit organisation providing a range of services to culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities across the Hunter, Central Coast and New England regions of NSW.

It is our mission to be the leading regional organisation providing services that strengthen and inspire people in an environment that is culturally sensitive and responsive to their needs and goals. In addition to settlement and families’ services, we have a dedicated Aged Care Team that provides home care and support services in Newcastle and the Central Coast to aged people over 65 years from CALD backgrounds. 

As an organisation dedicated to helping people from migrant and refugee backgrounds thrive in their lives in Australia, Mosaic strongly encourages applications from people with lived migrant and refugee experience and people with close personal and cultural connections to multicultural communities.
