Employment support

Work and study can help you build independence and stability in Australia.

Work & training

Get help with work and training opportunities

Finding a job can help you earn an income, meet new people, learn new skills, and build your confidence.

Our Employment Services team can help you prepare for and find work by offering one-on-one job advice, resume and application support, interview coaching, and connections to training and employment opportunities.

Please note, for the ASC to help you with finding a job, you must have the right to work in Australia on your visa.

By connecting with partner employers, Asylum Seekers Centre community members have found jobs working in childcare, health, manufacturing, disability services, hospitality, and construction.

Our employment team will help you with job search and employment.

When I came to Australia the Asylum Seekers Centre helped me with advice about work and to prepare to find a job. With the help of my job advisor I was able to get a good job which was a big help in starting life in Australia. I would like to thank the centre for helping me through this time.
