    Many people seeking asylum and refugees are facing some of the most difficult decisions right now: choosing between their basic human rights to housing, food security or healthcare.

    While the Government continues to deny their rights, you can still help the ASRC provide relief for families that otherwise would lack essential medications or be at risk of homelessness this winter.

    Unite your staff, students, community group or neighbours at your Food Drive or Fundraiser and get ready to join refugees and people seeking asylum in recognising their strength and resilience in their journey to safety and calling Australia home.

    As a special thank you, you will be invited to visit our Footscray centre on World Refugee Day (June 20) for a tour.

    Right now, thousands of people who came seeking safety are still living with unfair visa conditions banning them from working during an inefficient refugee process that can drag on for years.

    But the former government’s cruel cuts to the meagre “Status Resolution Support Service” have left 98% of people seeking asylum without any income safety net to cover the basics.
