Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC)

Narges, Nooshad, Rathy and Thanu are at Parl House this week with @ASRC1 to represent the 1000s of ppl failed by the cruel and broken Fast Track process.

They’ve lived & worked in Aust for over a decade - raising families as part of our community. Yet they’re still waiting for permanency.

Today marks the beginning of a new term of Parliament — and a powerful opportunity to choose a different future for refugees and people seeking asylum.

Our updated Freedom paper outlines how we can move forward with fairness, safety and humanity. Read more: asrc.org.au/policy-freed... 📝

Allan Government backs people seeking asylum in Victorian Budget The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) welcomes vital funding announced in the 2025–26 Victorian State Budget, which continues the Victorian State Government’s commitment to the safety, dignity and ...

MEDIA RELEASE: Allan Government backs people seeking asylum in Victorian Budget

Our CEO @Kon__K says the renewed support is a vital lifeline for thousands of people seeking asylum in Victoria. Thank you Premier Allan, Minister Stitt, and Minister Tierney.

asrc.org.au/2025/05/21/a...

State government funding makes up about 10% of ASRC’s income and supports our social services.

The rest comes from our generous community.

We don’t accept federal funding – so we can remain fiercely independent.

Huge thanks to Premier Allan, Minister Stitt, and Minister Tierney for backing people seeking asylum in yesterday’s Vic State Budget.

This continue support means we can keep delivering critical frontline services – housing, food, health care, mental health support, FV response, and TAFE access.
