How to get involved 

As a focal point of Justice for Refugees SA campaigning and advocacy engagement for 2024 & 2025,  the J4RSA Management Committee has developed three actions groups.

Short term pre-election action priorities 

  • Disrupting the Cruelty: changing the current discourse on refugees and people seeking asylum.
  •  Fair process for those who were treated cruelly by the unfair "Fast Track" process.

Ongoing actions for justice.

  • Study rights for all. Advocating for people on short term visas with tertiary study rights

If you are interested in getting involved and working with like minded people in one or more action groups, please email info@justiceforrefugeessa.org

Enough is Enough

11 Years Too Long

TAKE ACTION: Send a message to your local MP, Prime Minister, and key Ministers

On Friday 19th July 2024, it was 11 long years since former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced that anyone seeking asylum who arrived by boat would be ‘never allowed to settle in Australia’ and would be subject to offshore detention.  This has resulted in the regime of cruelty under which thousands of men, women and children suffered years in appalling conditions in detention on Nauru and Manus Island.

Sadly, there are still people trapped in PNG, waiting for a pathway to safety and secure future.  There are more than 100 people now on Nauru, many in detention, who arrived by boat since late 2023.  Around 1,000 people are here in Australia, brought from PNG and Nauru for medical treatment years ago, who have no pathway to a permanent visa, even though most are recognised as refugees.

Asylum Seeker Refugee Centre (ASRC) have also released a new report, Cruelty By Design: The Health Crises in Offshore Detention detailing how the health of refugees and asylum seekers has been seriously harmed by 11 years of offshore processing and detention. By continuing offshore processing and detention, the Australian Government is knowingly harming people.
