RACS (Refugee Advice and Casework Service Australia)

The Refugee Advice & Casework Service is a strong, independent public voice for the rights of refugees and people seeking asylum.
We achieve justice and dignity for refugees through the provision of effective legal services and advocacy.
 
People who come to Australia seeking asylum are amongst the most vulnerable who come into contact with Australia’s legal and migration system.
For them, a negative decision on their refugee status could mean they are sent back to danger.
At RACS, we:

• provide critical free legal advice, case management and representation for financially disadvantaged and vulnerable people seeking asylum or family reunion
  
• represent children without their parents, who are seeking protection in Australia
  
• make complaints for people about serious violations of their human rights to the Australian and United Nations complaints bodies; and
  
• advocate for systemic law reform and fight for policy that treats refugees with justice, dignity and respect.
