Counselling and support services for asylum seekers

Help us to continue supporting people seeking asylum

Our mission is to ensure that every single refugee feels safe, welcomed and empowered as they begin their new lives in Australia and in their new community. The Romero Centre is committed to advocating for the rights and wellbeing of people seeking asylum. We work closely with local authorities, non-governmental organisations, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure that their needs are addressed, and their voices are heard. We believe in creating a community that is inclusive, diverse, and enriched by the contributions of all individuals.

There are many ways you can make a difference in the lives of people seeking asylum in South East Queensland.
