Northern Settlement Services Ltd (NSS) is set to launch a new name, brand and logo at their upcoming official brand launch.

The organisation, which was established in Newcastle in 1981, is a not-for-profit working with multicultural communities across the Hunter, Central Coast and New England regions.

Originally established as a Migrant Resource Centre, Northern Settlement Services has supported multicultural people and communities to thrive in the Newcastle, Hunter and New England regions for over four decades.

The organisation was renamed Northern Settlement Services in 2004 to better reflect the larger geographic region.

CEO of Northern Settlement Services, Sharon Daishe says she’s delighted to be announcing the new brand and logo for the organisation after operating as NSS for nearly two decades.

“The new brand and logo truly encompass who we are and what we do and the ongoing evolution of our purpose,” Sharon said.

“We’ve adapted and grown since our original name change in 2004, and it’s important that our new brand represents all aspects of our organisation.”

Since their inception in 1981, Northern Settlement Services has grown to offer a broad range of multicultural programs including settlement services, aged care, youth and families.

The organisation is led by Sharon Daishe, with support of a Board, led by Chair, Jon Chin and eight other members.

Guests at the brand launch will hear from staff, the Lord Mayor of the City of Newcastle, and those who have been assisted by Northern Settlement Services to explore the history and what the organisation means to them.

“While our name and brand are changing, our purpose is staying the same,” Jon said.

“We will continue supporting and inspiring culturally diverse people and communities to overcome barriers and thrive, and we believe our new brand showcases this diversity more than our current one.

The official brand launch will be held on Wednesday 14 September at Broadmeadow Harness Racing Club.
