• free accommodation (room or small flat);
• free accommodation including food for an individual or family;
• free accommodation including food and emotional support for an individual or family;
• commitment to sponsor the Refugee Claimants Support Centre;

Those refugee claimants who do have permission to work most often experience difficulty gaining employment. Your help in the provision of the following would be greatly appreciated:

• offers of any full or part-time job on a permanent, temporary or casual basis;
• linking us with possible employers who may be interested in employing refugee claimants.

*In 1997 Bruce Springstein performed in Brisbane. He allowed the Asylum Seekers Centre to collect donations at his concerts and donated a percentage of profits from the sale of merchandise.
