Newcomers Network Our Team

Newcomers Network is Australia’s first network for newcomers.

We are a socially responsible independent provider of information, events and advocacy for people who have moved.

Our Founder and Director is Sue Ellson and she is the main driver of the enterprise.

To help people connect in other cities, a range of volunteers have been recruited to represent us in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

We also employ a graphic designer and a web designer on a contract basis to help us provide the best online experience possible.
