The Asylum Seeker and Refugee Assistance program led by Communify currently supports over 300 asylum seekers with emergency relief, individual and family support, mental and physical health, employment and housing supports.

In attempting to build a new life here in Australia, they face ongoing hardship and unique obstacles to overcome.
