Asylum Seekers Centre

In the last year, we’ve welcomed over 220 new children to Asylum Seekers Centre. We are currently supporting over 900 children of school age.

For children of school age, the wait time can seem like forever until their bridging visas are secured and they can start education without the need to pay international school fees, which their parents cannot afford.

Please give generously. $110 will pay the administration cost for a school fee waiver to help a child enter education. $50 will provide a child with a backpack and school essentials.

The food catered by Synchrony Australia went down a treat - absolutely delicious! Thanks so much everyone. ... See MoreSee Less

Without your enthusiasm, can-do attitude and professional skills, we wouldn’t be able to provide people with quality services and the support they need. It is an honour to work with you every day. Thank you” Frances Rush, CEO ... See MoreSee Less
