Our mission

To foster a society in which refugees and asylum seekers are welcome, respected, safe, and in which they can flourish and achieve their full potential.

Our Mandate

We encourage the public to support our campaign to put an end to mandatory detention and adopt alternative solutions that are legal and ethical. Just and inclusive government policies are important to build a sustainable future for this country.

RISE Drop-In Centre

Located in our Drop-In Centre are a computer lab, the RISE Resource Library and the RISE Food Bank, all of which are accessible to community members. The Drop-In Centre exists to provide a safe space for community members to access a variety of RISE services.

RISE Support Services

We help in addressing initial critical settlement needs of refugees: housing, access to welfare support, employment, education and driving.

RISE Publications
