Hedayat Osyan (Nick) understands too well the challenges refugees, asylum seekers and migrants face in a new country and aims to make the transition a little more comfortable. In his early years in the Australian workforce, Nick heard numerous stories of his refugee co-workers and acquittances being exploited due to language barriers and so on. This fueled Nick’s passion to provide an equal opportunity to thrive in fair working conditions.

As a social entrepreneur, Nick provides work experience, the skills and confidence needed to access employment in the Australian community. The employees of Nick Tiling are guaranteed satisfactory working conditions and fair pay in accordance to the construction industry. The organization is run by Hedayat Osyan, Managing Director, alongside Jahangir Shadab, Operations Manager, who are both ex-refugees and have 25 years of industry experience combined.
