The Social Outfit is a Sydney-based registered charity and accredited social enterprise that operates a work-integration model combining paid employment with industry-aligned training for refugee and migrant women. This impact report documents outcomes across three pillars – skills and jobs, representation and circularity – while introducing longer-term targets for growth and impact. 

The report's key findings demonstrate meaningful progress in economic inclusion: 

• women employed through the organisation receive above-award wages, with 86% securing their first-ever paid job in Australia through the program. 
• participants are supported into job transitions, award progressions and education pathways. 

The report also highlights representation outcomes, with refugee women sharing their stories across media and public events, and circularity outcomes. It challenges systemic gaps in Australia's employment services, noting that fewer than 30% of refugee women are currently employed nationally and that recently arrived migrants are significantly more likely to be underpaid.
