For refugees outside Australia
You may be visiting this website because you are a refugee yourself, looking for help to get to Australia. The Refugee Claimants Support Centre is a small community organisation, not part of the Australian Government. We only work with asylum seekers in Queensland and are unable to assist refugees outside Australia. We are not able to assist refugees outside Australia with obtaining the necessary papers and travel documents. We do not sponsor individuals with passage to Australia.
Following are some links that may be useful to you if you are a refugee outside Australia wishing to claim protection in Australia.
