At SSI, we support newcomers and other Australians to achieve their full potential.

We are looking for a Migration Support Officer to join our CSP team, based in our Carlton office. This opportunity is available part-time or full-time on a maximum-term contract until 30 June 2027.
About the role

• Keep clients, sponsors and supporters informed with clear, timely updates and responses to enquiries.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date case records in ICMS and work to application deadlines and program requirements.
• Support settlement case management, organise orientation sessions and connect entrants with settlement service information.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues, government and community stakeholders, staying informed about changes to migration policies and procedures.

About you
You bring a people-first approach, strong attention to detail and the ability to navigate complex situations with care and professionalism. You can balance accurate administration with responsive support for clients and stakeholders.

You will also bring:

• A minimum of three years’ equivalent experience and/or tertiary qualifications in Social Work, Community Services or a relevant discipline.
• Strong knowledge of the visa and migration sector, including relevant government policies and programs.
• Case management experience, including assessment and case planning.
