    Our traditional Festive Food Drive is back on December 15 and we’d love to count with your support in providing food and other essentials for families seeking asylum this festive season. Some of the most needed items right now are: tuna in oil, tomato paste, tinned vegetables (peas, carrots, corn), coconut cream or milk, vegetable or olive oil (750ml – 1l). 

    Families seeking asylum are feeling the pressure to keep themselves afloat while trying to rebuild their lives with hope and dignity. This festive season, you can help shine a light of hope for them by donating to provide basic needs like healthcare, food and personal care items, housing assistance and material aid, amongst other essential services. 

    In the final parliamentary week of 2024, three significant migration amendments were passed, introducing sweeping changes that expand the government’s power over immigration processes. These laws affect the detention, removal, and entry conditions for migrants and refugees. Key impacts include stricter detention measures, broader powers to confiscate personal items, and the potential for entire nations to be designated as banned from entering Australia.
