People seeking asylum need every kind of support when they are trying to rebuild their lives in a new country
But instead of being welcomed and helped by our government, people are being denied access to income support and refused the ability to work. Without a safety net, people can’t cover their most basic needs of living.
When people request the ASRC’s support, we provide for every kind of need we possibly can – providing both choice and dignity.
