Asylum Seekers Centre
Providing hope and safety to people seeking asylum
People seeking asylum in Australia often wait years for their visa applications to be processed.
While they wait to start their new lives, they are not eligible for government income support and face barriers to work, study and community involvement.
The Asylum Seekers Centre works to connect people seeking asylum to support and services, engage community and influence policy and legal change.
Our practical services include emergency accommodation, financial relief, health care, employment assistance, education, food, material aid and recreational activities.
