    Host a Feast for Freedom this March to provide people seeking asylum with food, shelter, healthcare and other vital services to help them start to rebuild their lives in the community.

    Hosting is easy:

    Sign up and get your FREE Kit, host your Feast, and raise funds to support refugees.

    Did you know we don’t take Federal government funding, and much of our financial resources come from the community? Yes! Your ongoing support with monthly donations is critical in helping the ASRC keep its doors open. Become a monthly donor and enable the essential services and support refugees need to rebuild their lives here.

    More than ten years after our government forced them to brutal overseas detention camps, dozens of people who came here for safety are still trapped in Papua New Guinea.

    Tell your MP it’s time to evacuate the refugees abandoned in PNG, so they can rebuild their lives, here or in another safe country.
