What Our Community Says
Client
“Counterpoint’s programs have been a lifeline for my family. Waterloo’s community centre always provides access to services and resources, but it is
underfunded, which is unfair.”
Mrs Guo

Yayuan
“The Multicultural Centre has been a place of learning and growth for me. “I am now Australian, and this wouldn’t have been possible without Counterpoint.”
