Brave Belonging Circle
A soft place to land, a strong place to rise
Starting a new life in Australia can feel exciting, but also deeply challenging. Whether you’ve arrived recently or have been here for a few years, many migrants find themselves feeling isolated, undervalued, or unsure of where they truly belong.
The Brave Belonging Circle is a free monthly online support group for skilled migrants in Australia. It’s a space to:
Share your journey in a safe, supportive community
Hear stories from others walking a similar path
Heal from the loneliness and disconnection migration can bring
Discover new ways to grow and thrive in your new life
Feel valued, understood, and connected
This circle is about more than information — it’s about healing, belonging, and rising together.
What Happens in the Circle?
Each month, someone is invited to share their lived experience — not as an expert or a lecturer, but as a fellow traveller. Their story sparks our theme for the evening, guiding reflection and conversation.
From there, the circle unfolds naturally:
We listen deeply and respectfully
We reflect without judgment or advice-giving
We hold space for one another’s stories
We build connection that reminds us: you are not alone
This is not a talk or seminar. It’s a community gathering, where every voice matters equally.
Who Is It For?
The Brave Belonging Circle is designed for skilled migrants in their first 0–6 years of life in Australia who may be:
Searching for their first job in Australia
Considering a career change or new direction
Feeling stuck or under-recognised in their skills
Looking for community, connection, and healing
If you’ve ever wondered “Is it just me?” — this circle will remind you it’s not.

Why Join the Brave Belonging Circle?
Migration is more than a physical journey — it’s an emotional one. For many skilled migrants and immigrants, the hardest part isn’t just finding work or learning new systems. It’s the feeling of being unseen, unheard, or disconnected.
The Brave Belonging Circle offers:
A safe space to share honestly without fear of judgment
A chance to heal from the challenges of starting over
A community that validates your worth and your skills
Belonging, encouragement, and courage for the next step
Belonging takes bravery — and you don’t have to walk this path alone.
How to Join
Joining is simple and free. Just register, and you’ll receive the event link and reminders before we meet.
Why “Brave Belonging”?
Because belonging doesn’t always come easily. It takes courage to share your story, to admit when life feels hard, and to rise again in the face of challenge.
This circle is here to give you both:
A soft place to land when life feels heavy
A strong place to rise into your future
✨ Come as you are. Your story belongs here.
