As a priority, the ASRC will support refugee-led campaigns by adding value and support where needed. This includes, but is not limited to, strategic advice, promotion on social media, hosting calling parties, campaign collateral design and budget. Any role for the ASRC’s advocacy to play will be led by the wishes and requests of refugee-led campaigns.

The ASRC acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work every day.
We pay our respects to them, their customs, their culture, and Elders past and present. We recognise that First Nations' sovereignty and lands were never ceded. This land always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
As part of our commitment to First Nations justice, we support Treaty for Victoria. We pay the rent to Traditional Owners through www.paytherent.net.au
