This week marks #refugeeweek, a time to reflect on the crucial work in progress to allow fair, legally supported access for those seeking asylum in Vic.
We hope to see substantial change & justice for those who have been harmed by our nation’s current system & outdated policies

Noting the end of #rental protections In Victoria alongside the end of federal #JobKeeper. Also changes to #JobSeeker effective on April 1. The coronavirus supplement payment ends on March 31, meaning those on JobSeeker will not get that fortnightly supplement. #COVID19Vic
