More important than ever
In a world where politicians increasingly seek to divide, where hostile rhetoric towards people seeking asylum is on the rise, your voice and actions matter more than ever.
People seeking asylum are not case numbers; they are people who have fled violence and persecution in search of safety. Many have already suffered trauma and continue to face uncertainty in a broken system which structurally excludes them and repeatedly fails them.
Every donation to the Asylum Seekers Centre is more than just financial support—it’s a vital message of doubling down against injustice and helping us continue to open our doors to those seeking safety.
On 6 March Giving Day, every dollar you donate will be doubled, making your contribution go even further to provide vital services for people seeking asylum.
Together, we will send a message of welcome.
Spread the welcome with special gifts for you
To show our appreciation for your support, we’ve put together some fun and meaningful gifts for Giving Day to help you proudly spread the message of welcome. Donations of over $50 come with a token of gratitude—because your act of solidarity deserves to be celebrated.
For donations of $50:
Sticker, magnet + temporary tattoo
The sticker and magnet are perfect for your laptop, fridge, or any other spot that could use a little extra kindness and encouragement. The tattoo? It’s a little reminder that you’re someone who stands up for human rights. It’s a fun and creative way to share a positive message – that welcome triumphs over hate.
Bumper sticker + poster
For a $100 donation, we’re giving you two tools that will help you share your welcome with everyone you meet. The bumper sticker is perfect for your car, allowing you to take your message of welcome on the road.
The poster is ideal for your home or office. Place it in your window, on a wall, or anywhere it can be seen. Every time someone looks at it, they too will be reminded of the importance of showing empathy to people seeking asylum.
For donations of $250+:
