For more than 30 years, with the help of people like you, the Asylum Seekers Centre has provided a place of welcome in Sydney for people navigating Australia’s complex processes for granting refugee protection.

The people we support face systemic barriers to their basic human rights – access to education, shelter, an adequate standard of living, physical and mental wellbeing and equality before the law. It’s simply inhumane.

Your gift provides vital support to help people survive and thrive

Employment & training: job searching and matching, resume writing, interview skills, English lessons

Access to transport: opal card top ups to travel for work, healthcare, services and education

Access to healthcare: support from doctors, nurses and physios at ASC’s clinic, referrals for optometry, dental and crisis care

Access to education: enrolment in childcare, school and university, help with uniforms and digital devices

Advocacy for change: amplifying the voices and sharing the stories of people seeking asylum

Casework and critical support: for people experiencing homelessness, mental illness, complex visa matters & family disruption

At first it was hard because I had nothing in my pocket…Many times, if you give an opportunity to refugees, they can succeed in lots of things, and they can give back to the community.
