Multicultural Australia stands by the people of Afghanistan and the fundamental human right of every person to a life of safety, respect and dignity.
As the situation is evolving, we have been receiving offers of support from the community seeking to support this humanitarian effort.
To all the people and organisations who have offered support – we would like to say thank you.
As you will appreciate, the situation in Afghanistan continues to change and we are operating in an environment of significant uncertainty. Please know that we appreciate your offers of help and will be in contact with you as needs arise. It may be some time before we contact you, as we are keen to ensure that we only seek assistance or support as needed and as appropriate.
Thank you in advance for your support and patience.
How can I assist the settlement of Afghan refugees into Queensland?

Donations will be used to provide support and care to new Australians entering the country.
Please remember that this is an evolving situation and it may be some time before we can confirm whether and when your support will be required.
