It’s time to stand up for our neighbours, friends and local communities who need certainty, stability and support to rebuild their lives.

Australians support each other in hard times and we are asking the Federal Government to play its part in creating a fair and welcoming country.

Australia continues to hold 8,000 men, women, and children in immigration limbo—many of whom have lived, worked, and contributed to their communities for up to 15 years without resolution to their visa status.

This has denied individuals and families from the certainty and stability that refugee status provides.

Many are denied access to essential services such as health care, income support, safe accommodation and crisis support. This leaves highly vulnerable individuals and families facing poverty and destitution, surviving on help from local government and services.

The Federal Government has a responsibility to support people as they navigate the immigration process until they can move forward with their lives safely.

We stand up for our neighbours, friends and community members who need certainty and support to rebuild their lives.
