Seeking asylum is a long and difficult road. They can’t do it alone.

You can help.

The Refugee Advice and Casework Service is a nonprofit providing essential legal support to people who have fled persecution to find certainty and safety in Australia.

Applying for protection in Australia is a complex and arduous process. RACS lawyers provide trauma-informed legal support for people of all nationalities, religions and gender identities, and we advocate for fairer and more humane asylum policies.
