Your donation ensures NO-ONE MISSES OUT, transforming lives and helping refugee families thrive in their new homes.

Your support can make a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable.
Refugees often face significant obstacles, from missing out on education to lacking vital medical support and being separated from loved ones.
The Australian Refugee Association (ARA) is dedicated to bridging these gaps.

Our services provide for refugees in every stage of their settlement journey!

• Youth Programs like our Homework Clubs, Youth Ambassador programs, in-school workshops, and language assistance help children catch up on their education.

• Our Bi-Cultural Case Workers provide crucial medical and emotional support, accompanying newly arrived refugees to appointments and facilitating introductions to services.

• We also support refugee families in applying for visas to reunite with loved ones and connect them with cultural groups and community activities to foster a sense of belonging.

Let’s work together to build and cultivate thriving communities through ARA, making every new beginning one of understanding, acceptance, and opportunity.

A small regular donation can make a big difference!
