JRS Australia accompanies, serves, and advocates for refugees, people seeking asylum, and other forcibly displaced people. In many cases, these people face destitution, uncertainty, and homelessness as government policy grows increasingly unwelcoming and punitive.

In response, JRS Australia offers dignity and hope through emergency assistance, temporary shelter, a foodbank, professional casework, community activities, employment support, school engagement, legal advice, targeted advocacy, and a project to empower women seeking asylum.
