Refugees and People Seeking Asylum

The Edmund Rice Centre works to improve the conditions and treatment of asylum seekers and refugees, including:

  • Researching what happens to asylum seekers and refugees who are deported from Australia as part of our Deported to Danger program;
  • Providing pro-bono legal and migration assistance to asylum seekers as part of our Asylum Seeker Advice Project;
  • Partnering with refugees and people seeking asylum through our empowerment and mentoring projects;
  • Advocating for alternative policies to improve the conditions and treatment of asylum seekers and refugees in Australia by running campaigns and lobbying policy makers;
  • Raising awareness through community education initiatives about refugees and asylum seekers, such as our Debunking the Myths about Asylum Seekers campaign; and
  • Working to overcome community attitudes towards refugees and asylum seekers, by organising events, speaking at forums and producing our Asylum Seeker and Refugee Education Resource. 

We can only continue this work with your support. To donate to support our work, please visit our donation page.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Australia as the traditional owners and custodians of the land. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside them for reconciliation and justice. We pay our respects to the Elders; past, present and future. As we take our next step we remember the first footsteps taken on this sacred land.

 

The Edmund Rice Centre for Justice and Community Education supports and endorses the ULURU STATEMENT FROM THE HEART. We urge all Australians to take up the Indigenous people's invitation to learn about and promote it.
