Who do we work with?

HoW works with asylum seekers who live in the community whilst they are awaiting the outcome of their protection visa application.  We also support our clients in their initial settlement and transition into Australian life once they have been granted their protection visas and recognised as refugees.

People from all over the world walk through the doors of the House of Welcome. We are currently working with families and individuals from Ethiopia, North Korea, Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Iran, Sri Lanka, Democratic Republic of Congo, Fiji, China, Nigeria, Columbia and Iraq to name just a few.
