Abstract
Recent developments in immigrant welfare in Australia have emphasised the roles of ethnic agencies, and bilingual ethnic workers. The research on which this article is based suggests that ethnic agencies, religious sectarian agencies, migrant agencies and community agencies have distinct, important and complementary roles to play. It suggests further that social workers, welfare officers and indigenous para-professional workers with appropriate training are each highly significant if both accessibility and equality of opportunity are to be assured. Immigrant welfare is more complex than recent reports and programmes have assumed and the future well-being of Australia's highly multicultural society rests still in the balance. The aim of this article is to suggest a more comprehensive and realistic framework for future development.
