Paul Machuki
Case and Services Coordinator
My role provides high quality settlement support services to newly arrived families and individuals from refugee backgrounds.
It’s a rewarding job, as I’m passionate about helping people to achieve their goals, become productive members of society and having full control of their lives.
I’m originally from Kenya and like to embrace a Swahili saying, “mbele iko sawa”, which means “it’s ok ahead”. I’ve found this to be true of life and often share it with others.
Before joining Melaleuca, I spent four years in the community services sector and two years as a Mental Health Recovery Worker. Outside of work, I love being with my family and friends and deejaying at community events.
In the near future, I’d like to obtain a Master of International Relations, so I can address contemporary issues facing international laws, policies and governance. Ultimately, my dream is to help make the world a peaceful and better place.
