KMS OF COMPASSION AND THE ASRC
By fundraising with Team ASRC, you can make an immediate impact, helping ensure people seeking asylum can rebuild their lives where it’s safe.
The ASRC was founded on the simple principle that all people seeking asylum in Australia should have their human rights upheld and the opportunity to be a part of the cultural fabric of our community.
We are so honoured to work with more than 7,000 people each year in their long walk to freedom and as the largest independent human rights organisation for refugees in Australia; we offer programs that provide protection, aid, empowerment and dignity.
