About the organisation
United – Spanish Latin American Welfare Centre Incorporated (United) is an NFP community organisation established in 1977 by a dynamic group of recently arrived migrants and refugees from Latin America and Spain. The Agency was incorporated as the Spanish Latin American Welfare Centre. Until three years ago, the organization became widely known by the initials of its Spanish name CELAS (Centro Español Latino Americano de Asistencia Social).
For the past 43 years, the Agency has provided and continues to provide community services. For about two decades, following its establishment, the programs delivered concentrated on facilitating the settlement process of new and recent arrivals, however, as the Spanish-speaking communities aged, the main focus changed, and United began providing Aged Care Services, as well as continued to deliver information and educational community support programs.
