Support Us
The ASRC is there to care for the most vulnerable and at risk asylum seekers in our community, many of whom have nowhere else to turn for help. Around 75% of those we help have no income, no work rights and no access to Centrelink benefits or Medicare.However, less than 4% of our funds come from the State government. Instead we rely on donations from individuals, companies and philanthropic bodies, fundraising activities and our staff of mostly volunteers, to offer our programs and services.
