House of Welcome - Asylum Seeker and Refugee Support

The House Of Welcome seeks to:

• Provide a place of welcome, trust and friendship for asylum seekers and refugees;
• Assist them in their transition to life in the Australian community;
• Develop their capacity to engage confidently with the various aspects of life in Australia and our culture;
• Promote their legal and human rights as they seek to have their status recognised;
• Enable them to become full and independent members of Australia as citizens

We offer support to over 150 asylum seekers and refugees through transitional 'Safe Place' housing, financial assistance, emergency assistance, no interest loans, skills development courses, employment support and social activities.

We assist those who have limited or no access to any other forms of support.
