New Beginnings is an Australian Immigration Support Program that assists those new to Western Australia, or those planning to emigrate, to secure employment and sponsorship opportunities.  Our innovative, personalised program is designed to guide those new to Australia through the process of finding work.

Jim Magee, a skilled tradesman arriving from Northern Ireland in 2012, found the immigration system confusing with no clear directions as to where to go for assistance in gaining international skills recognition.  A friend referred him to New Beginnings where our experienced team arranged for Jim to obtain a white card as well as international recognition of his existing qualifications; he found himself with full-time employment in just a few short weeks.

If, like Jim, you could benefit from our experience, contact our team of Immigration professionals on (08) 9550 1111 or enquire via email Jane.McWhirter@bridgingthegap.org.au.

To find out more about how we can help you, phone Kelly Tillet, Assistant Manager of Job Services on (08) 9550 1111 or email kelly.tillet@bridgingthegap.org.au.

Five species were installed in Ngulla’s eastern paddock as part of the regeneration of our “living classroom”, with the area to be used by students from BTGs registered training office who are studying Horticulture and Conservation & Land Management.  The site will be a laboratory for plant monitoring, animal and insect studies and is part of the overall restoration of natural area.  Species planted were all endemic to the area and include Acacia Lasiocarpa, Kunzea Recurva, Banksia Illicifolia, Tempeltonia Retusa and Melaleuca Raphiophylla.  These plants will provide shelter, habitat and food to our resident Bandicoot, parrots, hawks and small birds.

The team from Ngulla Nursery were also involved in a planting day at Tram Way Reserve in Baldivis on Saturday 28th July, supplying plants and offering advice on weed control and bush care.

National Tree day is part of the U.N. Planet Ark project which intends to plant 1 billion plants around the world each year. This is the first time Bridging the Gap has organised this event and given its success – we hope to make it an annual event.

Well done to all and we hope to see you again next year!
