The Maltese Community Council of NSW held an Open Day to Commemorate Australia Day on Sunday 22nd Jan 2023 at the Humrun Club in Marsden Park . Maltese Welfare NSW along with other associations exhibited what services they each provide. It was a great day with lots of questions being asked and information given out. A power-point presentation highlighting over 20 years of our activities was on display. Entertainment and other activities made this a very special family day. thanks to the MCC and the Humrun Club for organizing this event,
When you’re a carer, it’s important to take time for yourself to rest and recharge.
Respite is when someone else takes care of the person you care for, so you can have a break: carergateway.gov.au/respite?cta
Call Carer Gateway to find out about the respite care available in your area.

The Maltese Welfare NSW would like to thank all those who attended our information talk on Fraud / Scams Prevention at La Valette Social Centre on the 17th November. It was very successful morning. Many attendees asked important questions relating to current frauds and scams and were told how to be vigilant of deceitful people.
It was pleasing to see so many of our Maltese Community gather in great numbers. Thanks to the OLQP Church group for organising bus transport.
We would like to thank Godfrey Sultana President of La Valette Social Centre and his Committee for their co-operation in holding this event.
I take this opportunity to also thank our Sponsor Fiducian Financial Services, whose support is imperative to hold these events

The Maltese Welfare NSW is holding an information morning about Fraud / Scams
Our Community is being targeted, especially our elderly and we need to protect ourselves.
Australians lost a record amount of more than $2 billion to scams in 2021, despite government, law enforcement, and the private sector disrupting more scam activity than ever before, the ACCC’s latest Targeting Scams report reveals.
Scammers are the most opportunistic of all criminals: they pose as charities after a natural disaster, health departments during a pandemic, and love interests every day.”
The true cost of scams is more than a dollar figure as they also cause serious emotional harm to individuals, families, and businesses.
An estimated 55% of Australians aged 15 years and over (11.1 million) were exposed to a scam in 2020-21.
Maltese Welfare will be holding and information morning on Thursday 17th November see details on attached flyer.
Please help us to inform and encourage our Maltese Community to attend.
