Help refugees and people seeking asylum
There’s always something you can do.
Every day, people contact us wanting to support refugees and people seeking asylum.
So we’ve compiled a few simple tips that will make an enormous difference, whether that’s having a conversation, making a donation or doing something kind in your community.
These tips are based on how Red Cross helps people seeking safety in Australia and around the world, whether they are seeking asylum, starting their lives in Australia, have experienced trafficking, forced marriage or labour exploitation, or just trying to find their missing loved ones.
Red Cross supports people regardless of where they come from or how they arrived. We don’t play any part in visa processes; our concern is that people can live safely and with dignity.
