Back Your Neighbour is a coalition of local councils representing over two million Australians coming together with community services, community groups, peak bodies, policy experts and thousands of individuals to oppose cruel cuts to SRSS support for some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
We are coordinated by the Local Government Mayoral Taskforce Supporting People Seeking Asylum and have the support of local councils encompassing over 3 million residents across Australia.
Please contact us at supporters@backyourneighbour.com.au to add your organisation to this list. Visit www.backyourneighbour.com.au/petition to add your name as an individual supporter.
