In the past fi nancial year, the ASRC helped over 1000 asylum seekers.

• We provided 7,490 Metcards – reducing

social isolation and allowing clients to

pick up their weekly food at the ASRC.

• We supplied weekly groceries for 120

families every week – over 75% who

have no income.

• We cooked hot lunches for 500 people

every week through our Community

Meals Program.

• We legally assisted over 450

asylum seekers from 56 countries –

successfully representing 83% at the

primary stage of the refugee process.

• We grew our volunteer staff to over

600 active volunteers who provided

2,000 hours of assistance per week

(the equivalent of 58 full-time staff).
