Community Outreach
For many years, we have provided free advisory services to disadvantaged people in need of migration support.
A passion to bring change
PLAYFAIR® has a proud history of providing migration assistance and advice to people seeking asylum and refuge in Australia. For over 15 years, we were contracted by the Australian Government to provide free advisory services to disadvantaged people who are held in immigration detention centres, living in the community on bridging visas and/or struggling to reunite their family due to financial disadvantage.
PLAYFAIR’s professional staff offer FREE information sessions for groups of disadvantaged people, usually in association with welfare providers (and sometimes for their staff as well). Each session can be tailored to provide advice on a specific visa or explore a broader topic such as family reunion. At the end of the session, you can ask us about any area of migration law.
Contact us if:
- you are located in Australia, seek asylum here, and would like an assessment of your situation, OR
- you represent a welfare provider or community organisation and would like to refer disadvantaged people to PLAYFAIR for advice about migration to Australia, OR
- you would like to attend or organise a migration information session.
Refugee: A refugee is someone who is outside their country of nationality or habitual residence and unable or unwilling to return due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership of a particular social group.
Asylum Seeker: An asylum seeker is someone who has applied for international protection but whose claim for refugee status has not yet been decided. Not all asylum seekers are found to be refugees, but all refugees were originally asylum seekers.
