About the Refugee Action Committee

Who We Are

The Refugee Action Committee is part of a network of concerned citizens around Australia seeking the fair and humane treatment of refugees in Australia.
We are working to raise public awareness about the government's obligations to give refuge to asylum seekers and treat them with dignity and humanity.
The ACT Refugee Action Committee is composed of individuals from a broad range of backgrounds and is not associated with any political party.

An Australia we can all be proud of will:

  1. Ensure humane and dignified treatment of asylum seekers and refugees
  2. End Mandatory Detention
  3. Ensure AustraIian Law upholds Human Rights
  4. End deportation to places of torture, persecution & danger
  5. Create a fair and just process of asylum applications
  6. Support family reunion for refugees separated from their families
  7. Work to reform the Migration Act to ensure a transparent and fair system for the treatment of asylum seekers and refugees.
