The ASRC is the only one-stop shop for asylum seekers anywhere in Australia. The ASRC is a place of last resort for the most vulnerable and at-risk asylum seekers. We strive for policy and law reform, and for public awareness to achieve justice for asylum seekers and are one of the few truly independent human rights organizations in Australia.
