Every Ribbon. Every Conversation. Every Voice.
On National Survivors’ Day, 4Cs stands alongside survivors of sexual assault and abuse, recognising their experiences and the many different paths towards healing and justice.
Everyone deserves to feel safe, heard and supported. Each person’s story is their own and whether they choose to share it or keep it private, they deserve respect, compassion and care.
As a community, we all have a role in listening without judgement, challenging shame and creating safer spaces.
Together, we can help build a future where survivors are supported and children and communities are safer.

We have some exciting news to celebrate! 🎉
Our 4Cs Safe to Speak Social Responder Team and our partners, @fullstopaustralia and @womenupnorthhousing, have won the Excellence & Impact: Collaboration Award at the 2026 NCOSS Awards!
Safe to Speak helps people in migrant and refugee communities build the skills and confidence to support someone who shares that they have experienced domestic, family or sexual violence. We’re so proud to see this important work recognised.
A big congratulations also to our very own Romana Waseem, a finalist in the Frontline Worker category, for the care and dedication she brings to our community.
Thank you to @_ncoss_ for a wonderful night celebrating the extraordinary individuals and organisations whose skill and care change lives every day.
Well done to everyone involved! 👏

We are delighted to announce that Romana Waseem is a finalist for the 2026 NSW Council of Social Service - @_ncoss_ Frontline Worker Award! 🎉
For 20 years, Romana has helped women from migrant and refugee backgrounds feel welcome, build confidence and find a sense of belonging in our local community. Having first connected with 4Cs through our Women to Work program after moving from Pakistan with her two young children, she brings personal understanding to her work supporting others as they settle into life in Australia.
Through programs such as Lakemba Ladies Lounge, Romana creates welcoming spaces where women can connect, share their skills, build friendships and access support. For many, these connections have opened doors to further study, volunteering and work.
Romana`s impact also extends to colleagues at 4Cs and other organisations. She generously shares her knowledge, helping others build trust and strengthen relationships with multicultural communities.
As Chaman Chaudary, a participant at Lakemba Ladies Lounge, shared:
“As migrants in Australia, many of us have left our families overseas. Romana makes people feel safe, valued and understood just like family. Her kindness and support have given comfort and strength to many women during difficult times, our community is truly grateful.”
Congratulations, Romana! Your warmth, leadership and dedication have helped women feel they belong, recognise their strengths and embrace new opportunities. We are proud to see your contribution to our community recognised. 💛
Every week, 72,000 people walk through the doors of a Neighbourhood or Community Centre in NSW. At 4Cs, we see the difference these places make in helping people feel connected and supported.
As our CEO, Esta Paschalidis-Chilas OAM says:
“We are a bridge to opportunity, social justice, equity and hope.”
“While the NSW government provides much needed project specific funding, we do not receive core funding that would assist our future sustainability.”
4Cs is joining our peak body, Local Community Services Association (LCSA), in calling on all parties and candidates to commit to sustainable core funding for every Neighbourhood and Community Centre in NSW.

Together, we can help ensure our centres remain there for the communities who need them.
