PURPOSE-LED
We are one of Australia’s pioneering social enterprise construction companies.
We were founded by Hedayat (Nick) Osyan, a former refugee, whose goal is to give back to the community who has welcomed him with opportunities.
Our mission is to empower those who have sought refuge and asylum in Australia to build new lives and make Australia their homes just as they make the environment they construct for you feel like home.
On the best available evidence, 17 per cent of humanitarian migrants are in paid work after being in Australia for 18 months. While employment rates improve with time, to get more refugees into jobs more quickly would be a triple-win: it would benefit vulnerable people, boost the budget and improve social cohesion.
