The Asylum Seekers Centre is powered by dedicated staff and volunteers in providing support for people seeking asylum in Sydney.

Lunch volunteering

We’re looking for groups of 4 – 6 friends to help cook and serve community lunches at our Newtown and Auburn centres to around 40 people seeking asylum. Community lunches create opportunities for our clients to be more connected to their wider community and socialise with others while accessing a nutritious meal. And they’re fun!

Corporate volunteering

Volunteering as an organisation makes an impact for people seeking asylum and brings your team together. Get in touch to find out more.
