Refugee/Asylum Seeker Support Project
Extending a Helping Hand to Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Australia
The Australian Relief Organisation (ARO) is proud to announce the launch of its Asylum Seekers Support Program, aimed at providing critical assistance to refugees and asylum seekers facing significant challenges in Australia. In collaboration with Settlement Services International (SSI), ARO has already facilitated financial assistance for two families, demonstrating the program’s potential to change lives.
The Challenges They Face
Refugees and asylum seekers often arrive in Australia with little more than hope for a brighter future. However, they face significant hurdles, including:
Isolation and Loneliness: Being far from their homeland and family, asylum seekers often feel disconnected from their new environment.
Limited Rights: Many live on bridging visas with no work or study rights and no access to travel concessions, limiting their opportunities to integrate.
Financial Hardship: Without the ability to work or access sufficient support, many struggle to cover basic living expenses like food, housing, and healthcare.
Our Mission
ARO’s Refugee/Asylum Seeker Support Project seeks to empower asylum seekers by:
Providing Financial Assistance: Addressing urgent needs such as rent, groceries, and medical costs.
Facilitating Community Integration: Helping asylum seekers connect with local communities and access support networks.
Collaborating with Partner Organizations: Working alongside groups like Settlement Services International (SSI) to provide comprehensive and sustainable support.
Why This Program Matters
Empowerment and Dignity: Assistance allows asylum seekers to regain a sense of stability and independence.
Breaking Barriers: Support bridges the gap between asylum seekers and their new community, fostering understanding and cooperation.
Lifeline for the Vulnerable: For those struggling in isolation, this program offers hope and a path forward.
