A Christian Vision of Compassion and Hospitality
The Australian Churches Refugee Taskforce (ACRT) has developed a pamphlet which outlines the ways in which we can advocate for the dignity of refugees and asylum seekers. It contains practical ways to make a difference.
The foundational principle of the #gidnitynotdestitution campaign is the belief that no person lawfully residing in Australia should be forced into destitution through the removal of accesss to financial and housing supports. Around 12,000 people will be affected by the Government changes in the Status Resolution Support Services (SRSS), and it is deeply concerning to our Churches and Charities.

- Become a HomeHost or a HomeHost supporter - churches and individuals providing a safe place for people facing destitution
