The Romero Centre

Australians Assisting Refugees

The Romero Centre was set up in March 2000 to be a place of welcome and support for refugees, the so called “boat people”, who were suffering the legacy of mandatory, indefinite detention and Temporary Protection Visas (TPVs).

Today, under the auspice of the Mercy Family Services, the organisation continues to provide support and services to former detainees and TPV holders and their families. The centre acts as an advocacy centre for refugees (it also organises activities for refugee families), and aims to educate the community about the refugee experience. Learn more…
