Social Umbrella is a non-profit organisation established in 2023 and based in NSW.
We organise various events for immigrants of diverse backgrounds who have
immigrated to Australia and strive to protect their rights.
In commemoration of World Mental Health Day on October 10th every year, Social
Umbrella joins hands with the Way Ahead Mental Health Association to unveil an
extraordinary opportunity. Introducing our captivating Writing Contest themed “We all
