The World Refugee Day Telethon, powered by the ASRC, (Monday, 20 June) is a chance to recognise and celebrate the strength and resilience of refugees and people seeking asylum and the incredible contribution they make to our community.

From across Australia, people come together in solidarity to raise funds and champion a more compassionate Australia, supporting and empowering refugees and people seeking asylum as they rebuild their lives here.

It is a day to partner with and amplify the voices of those who have sought asylum and inspire people to be a force for change to help create a fairer and more welcoming Australia for refugees.

Where does the money go?

This year, your donations will also help the ASRC to fund a new multi-million dollar and multi-year investment to build the capacity of the refugee sector and fund other refugee-led organisations and projects to power change.

Our commitment is to help ensure that people with lived and living experience of seeking asylum, and their voices, are at the centre of the movement, supporting a new generation of refugee leaders with the experience and knowledge to address the long-term needs and goals of the community.
