SisterWorks is a Melbourne-based social enterprise that supports women with asylum seeker, refugee or migrant backgrounds to gain independence through work, and to become integrated into Australian society.

SisterWorks offers fun and creative workshops as one of our social enterprise initiatives. From crafts to cooking, enjoy a multicultural and creative experience, meet new people and learn new skills from our talented SisterWorks Entrepreneurs.

Each workshop is led by one of our amazing and talented SisterWork Entrepreneurs, through sharing their knowledge and teaching with love. Everyone who attends, leaves something they have made as well as greater knowledge and new connections.

These practical workshops are specifically designed to boost integration and friendship by linking people from diverse backgrounds, and helping them to build community and collaboration. All proceeds from each workshop goes directly to the teacher, the SisterWorks Entrepreneur, building their financial independence and confidence.

These workshops offer fun experiences through craft and creativity that will bring everyone together. No prior experience is required and all workshop materials are included.

For private group or corporate bookings, we offer a mobile service across the Greater Melbourne area. Our creative workshops are a fantastic team building activity that can improve productivity and collaboration. Workshops can be customised to your needs and be part of team building days, promotional events, charity functions, Christmas parties and much more!
