“Australia … gave me the platform to find who I am as a person, and also to discover the things that I was passionate about”. ✨

Cornerstone Alliance was delighted to sit down with Dr Tharshy Pasupathy to share her story of “ups and downs”, just one of a million, during , convened by the Australian Migrant Resource Centre. 🌏

Growing up in war-torn Sri Lanka, Dr Pasupathy moved to Australia in 2008 to pursue higher education, where she struggled with cultural and language barriers throughout her undergraduate science program, eventually achieving First Class Honours. 🇱🇰 📚

Now, she is a clinical researcher at Adelaide University and Flinders University, focusing on a clinical heart attack known as the myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). 🫀

Having found her family and purpose advocating for women’s healthcare and supporting other aspiring academics from migrant and refugee backgrounds, Dr Pasupathy is proud to call Australia home. 🇦🇺

[Video Description: A piece to camera of Dr Tharshy Pasupathy sharing her journey of moving to Sri Lanka from Australia and working as a clinical researcher supporting patients with MINOCA. She is a woman with dark skin and hair, wearing a white sweater with black stripes and black dress pants. She is sitting in a red chair in front of AMRC, Cornerstone Alliance, and easyread.tech pull-up banners. Interspersed with footage of her presenting, talking to attendees, and watching from the audience at Cornerstone Alliance’s SA Refugee Week event, she shares what moving to Australia allowed her to do and her passion for women attaining freedom and achieving their dreams. The Cornerstone Alliance, AMRC, and SA Refugee Week logos appear on a white background at the end.]

We are looking forward to welcoming you this afternoon for our SA Refugee Week event, ‘We are one, we are many’, taking place at the AMRC.

Meet our final speaker, Aster Gomes, who migrated from Kenya to Australia with his late wife and three children 50 years ago in 1976. Aster’s Australian career began as a Field Service Engineer with Nissan, where he worked until an early retirement at age 50. Since then, he has dedicated much of his time to community service, including 18 years of volunteer work at Yatala Prison before the COVID-19 pandemic, and today continues to make a meaningful contribution through driving for OzHarvest, entertaining as a pianist in Southern Cross Aged Care, and providing support at The Village Co.

His migrant journey is a testament to resilience, foresight, and a lifelong commitment to serving others. A million stories, one community.

Everyone is welcome. Come along, meet people from diverse backgrounds, and enjoy light refreshments.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Tharshy Pasupathy to speak at our upcoming SA Refugee Week event, ‘We are one, but we are many’ held at the Australian Migrant Resource Centre (AMRC) on Wednesday 10 June 2026.

Dr. Tharshy Pasupathy is a globally recognised researcher who helped identify a long-ignored type of heart attack - one that occurs without any blocked arteries. Her work has changed outcomes for patients, especially women, around the world. She came to Australia as the civil war in Sri Lanka reached its peak, and has called it home ever since.

Behind her story and every story is a unique journey. Together, these experiences weave the rich and diverse fabric of our migrant and refugee community.

We hope you’ll join us for an afternoon of stories, conversation, and community as we celebrate SA Refugee Week and the million stories that connect us.

Everyone is welcome! Network with people from diverse backgrounds while enjoying light refreshments.

Team Cornerstone Alliance was delighted to attend the Australian Migrant Resource Centre’s 2026 International Women’s Day Forum at the Adelaide Festival Centre on Thursday, 5 March. 👩 ♀️

The theme for the event ‘One Community, Many Strengths’ was certainly felt by all based on the attentive, collaborative, and celebratory energy in the room. 💜 💪

It was wonderful catching-up with our friends and forging new connections in the sector. 😊

A big thank you to AMRC and the Council of Migrant and Refugee Women for organising an inspiring event and to all the migrant and refugee women who shared their stories and knowledge! 🙌

As the Vietnamese community marks Tết, the arrival of spring, we’re shouting out Community Access & Services SA (CAASSA), whom we supported with a brand refresh last year. 🌸 🏮

As a not-for-profit organisation, CAASSA were looking to modernise their brand for younger culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) audiences, while honouring a long and proud history of supporting the Vietnamese community since 1978.

Cornerstone Alliance assisted their new vision with a refreshed logo, website, brochures, and photos and videos highlighting their friendly, culturally-aligned, and trauma-informed staff working alongside the people they support.

CAASSA aims to connect, empower, and support CALD communities in South Australia across a range of services, including Aged Care, NDIS, Vietnamese Gambling Help, Alcohol and Other Drugs Support, Mental Health, Adult Community Education, Disability Employment Pathways, Community Connections, and Community Centre Activities. 🤝 ♿ 🧓 🧠

We wish CAASSA and the Vietnamese community a joyous Tết and a new year full of good luck and new opportunities! ☺️ ✨

You can find out more about CAASSA on their website ➡️ https://caassa.org.au/
