Organization Information

Mission Statement

To lead in encouraging, developing and supporting programs that expand and improve refugee settlement in Australia by harnessing the generosity, goodwill and social capital of everyday Australians.

Description

Community Refugee Sponsorship Australia (CRSA) is an independent Australian charity leading in the establishment of programs that enable community sponsorship of refugees throughout Australia. We believe this approach benefits refugee newcomers and Australian communities alike.

Australians now have the opportunity to sponsor and welcome refugee families into their local communities through ' community sponsorship' - like they do in Canada!

The Community Refugee Integration and Settlement Pilot (CRISP). enables a local group of five or more people to welcome and support a refugee family from their first day in Australia.

We screen and train groups prior to matching them with a refugee household that has been identified as in urgent need of resettlement by the UNHCR.
