Take Action

Since December 2020, community pressure has helped more than 200 people brought here for medical care from Nauru and PNG win their freedom from detention.

Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews can free refugees with a signature. Please call Minister Andrews to demand freedom for all Medevac refugees still detained here in Australia.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke is doubling down on cruelty towards people seeking asylum with new far-reaching laws that would give him the power to deport people to an unspecified “third country”.

Will you contact your senator today and urge them to oppose this rushed and reckless Bill?

Refugees and people seeking asylum are facing a mental and physical health crisis.

Will you call on Prime Minister Albanese and Minister Burke to evacuate everyone to safety?

If Labor’s Entry Ban and Deportation Bill passes the Senate, refugees could risk being banned from Australia or forced to return to countries where they face persecution or even death. Contact your senators today and urge them to block this Bill.

They’re our neighbours, our coworkers, our school friends, but are still being denied the chance to build their lives in safety. After 12 years, their home is here. Call on your MP to urge Minister Burke to grant them permanent safety. 

A decade after our government forced them to brutal offshore detention centres, dozens of refugees are still trapped in Papua New Guinea. Tell your MP it’s time to evacuate the last refugees abandoned in PNG, so they can rebuild their lives.

Right now, thousands of people waiting years for an answer on their refugee application are barred from working. But the last government’s cruel cuts have left 98% of people seeking asylum without a safety net to cover the basics.

Now is the time for change. After extensive consultation with refugees and people seeking asylum, the ASRC has identified four key advocacy priorities for 2022 – 2025, including Fairness, Safety, Freedom and Refugee-led Campaigns.

The ASRC is looking for the next generation of leaders with lived experience of seeking asylum to take part in the the Community, Advocacy & Power Program (CAPP) 2024.
