On 28 July 2023 I had the pleasure of attending the graduation ceremony of the Driver Licensing Access Program, a commendable initiative conducted by the Gymea Community Aid and Information Service. This program has been specifically crafted to empower refugees and migrant communities with the essential skill of driving. During this heart-warming event I had the opportunity to meet and interact with refugees and migrants who had successfully completed the program and obtained their driver licence. For many of these individuals, having a driver licence is not just a convenience but a crucial step towards independence, better job opportunities and full integration into our society. Witnessing their achievements and the smiles on their faces as they received their licence was truly inspiring. The Gymea Community Aid and Information Service deserves immense praise for its unwavering commitment to facilitating this important journey towards self‑sufficiency and inclusion. It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful celebration of success and empowerment.
