How do the major parties stack up?

Find out more

With the 2025 Federal Election approaching, you may be wondering how best to make your vote count. At the Refugee Council of Australia (RCOA), we believe that the best way to do that is to be informed. But how do you cut through the noise and find the policies and positions of the political parties running for Parliament that matter to you? 

RCOA does not endorse any party or candidate but provides this information to enable voters to make their own evaluation of each party’s position. 

This non-partisan resource is designed to inform and empower our community—ensuring that those most affected by political decisions on refugee policies are represented and heard. 

This election is a critical opportunity to stand up for policies that value dignity, safety, and justice for refugees and people seeking asylum. 

Get informed. Ask questions. Make your vote count. 

Accommodation Needed

 

Refugee and Immigration Legal Service (RAILS) has a client who is from PNG and is escaping a life time of domestic violence. She has recently had to leave her accommodation as her landlord was pressing her to give more and more money. She is currently homeless and living out of her car. She has asked for assistance from Romero, Red Cross, Mica Projects and Salvos, but they have been unable to assist her. She is looking for immediate accommodation while she looks for another place to stay.

If you can assist, please email admin@rails.org.au
