This Easter, we are reminded that hope is not something we hold alone, but something we build together. 🕯️

Across our community, people seeking asylum continue to navigate uncertainty, while showing extraordinary resilience, leadership and care for one another.

We see what becomes possible when people are supported, heard, and connected. We see our community choose welcome over division every day.

Easter is a call to stand in that solidarity. To extend the circle of belonging, so that no one is left to face hardship alone.

Your support helps make this possible, supporting families to access food, housing, emergency relief, safe spaces for women, employment pathways, and to advocate for systemic change.

Join us this Easter. 🕊️

As we near the end of Term 1, we’re reminded that hope shines brightest when we’re together.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, 160 children seeking asylum started the school year equipped, confident and ready to learn through our Back-to-School Drive.

But while the school year has begun, the need for support continues. Many families are still facing significant barriers to education.

Together, we can keep walking alongside families seeking asylum, ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive.

Sharing some good news from the JRS Community ⭐

Over the past weeks, we’ve seen women in our Finding Safety program graduate from a TAFE Café Skills course, colleagues recognised for their work, generous food donations packed and shared with families, and continued support through partnerships like The Laptop Initiative. We’ve also had the chance to say hello to our friends at JRS in Uganda!

All of this reflects the impact of a very committed community - our staff, volunteers, partners, and supporters - who continue to show up in practical and meaningful ways for people seeking asylum.

Thank you for being part of the JRS community! 💙

This Palm Sunday, stand in solidarity with refugees and people seeking asylum 🤍

Together with our friends at Vinnies Australia we’re calling on all Australians to join peaceful rallies across the country and speak out for compassion, justice and welcome.

“At the beginning of Holy Week, Christians are reminded on Palm Sunday that God accompanies humanity in vulnerability and suffering. Through these Palm Sunday rallies, Christians can demonstrate how they, in turn, stand in solidarity with those who suffer today,” said JRS Australia Country Director Fr Brett O’Neill, SJ.

"For people seeking safety who have endured years of uncertainty, detention and separation from family, the human cost is profound. We stand with them, and we call on the Australian community to do the same, by joining us at Palm Sunday rallies across the country.”

“Still, I have joy. I will get to where I want to be.”

Dindo is a father, a worker, and a leader in Jesuit Refugee Service Australia’s Refugee Leadership Program. For more than three years, he has been sharing his story with students across Western Sydney, creating space for honest conversations about what it means to seek safety and build a life in Australia.

Like many people seeking asylum, Dindo has spent years navigating uncertainty, including limited access to healthcare, stable work, and the support needed to live well. Alongside this, he continues to manage ongoing health challenges, while working hard to provide for his family.

Despite this, Dindo continues to show up for his community. Through JRS programs, he speaks with students, challenges assumptions, and helps others better understand the realities faced by people seeking asylum.

His leadership is already making an impact, with students taking action in their schools and communities, and engaging more deeply with questions of justice and responsibility.

“What has carried me through the uncertainty is community. Knowing that people are walking alongside you makes a real difference,” says Dindo.

Dindo’s story is part of our Easter Appeal. Your support helps ensure people seeking asylum are not left to navigate challenges alone, and that leaders like Dindo can continue to share their stories and lead change in their communities.

We are deeply concerned by new laws allowing the Government to block certain visa holders from travelling to Australia.

People who have already been granted visas through lawful processes may now be prevented from entering simply because of where they come from. At a time when communities in countries such as Iran and Lebanon are facing violence and instability, denying people entry on visas they already hold is cruel and unjust.

Many Iranians already living in Australia have spent years in uncertainty while their protection claims remain unresolved. As the situation in Iran worsens, people who cannot safely return home need certainty and protection, not prolonged limbo.

Australia’s response to conflict must be grounded in humanitarian principles and our commitment to protect people seeking safety.

💙 Hope shines brightest when we stand together.

Across Australia, refugees and people seeking asylum often face enormous challenges, from housing and food insecurity, access to work rights, family and gender-based violence, and social isolation.

Too often, these struggles go unseen.

At Jesuit Refugee Service Australia, we walk alongside people seeking asylum and refugees, offering practical support, advocacy, and empowerment through programs like:

• Foodbank support
• Employment assistance
• A Finding Safety program for women facing violence
• Casework & emergency relief
• Refugee leadership initiatives
• Schools & community advocacy

We believe that hope shines brightest when we stand together.

We all have a role to play in standing in solidarity, amplifying hope, and creating a community where everyone belongs.

✨ Together, we can nurture the light of hope for every person seeking asylum.

Please consider making a donation today: https://buff.ly/C1N2Bhn 🙏

We are currently running low on supermarket and chemist vouchers for people in crisis.

Emergency relief vouchers are a practical way of supporting families seeking asylum in a way that is dignified and respects their autonomy to choose what they most need.

Emergency vouchers help cover items many families are forced to go without:

⚠️ Fresh groceries
⚠️ Household essentials
⚠️ Medications
⚠️ School supplies

If you’re able to donate in person, via post, or electronically - please reach out to us. Thank you for your solidarity. 💙
