Tasmanian Asylum Seeker Support is a grassroots network of people who are interested in welcoming asylum seekers to our community.

In the past, we have primarily supported the asylum seekers who were detained at Pontville International Detention Centre through a volunteer visiting program and holding workshops and classes inside the centre.  Now that the center has closed, our volunteers can assist asylum seekers and refugees through a range of Tasmanian-based support services.

We will continue to run information sessions and training; listen to guest speakers; provide a supportive structure for volunteers; and collaborate with other charities and community organizations with similar aims.  We are on standby to begin assisting asylum seekers in detention if the Pontville Center is ever re-opened.

_Firstly, please email us at tasasylum@gmail.com and let us know you wish to be kept on our mailing list.

Please let us know what your personal interests or skills are by completing our volunteer form (also available on the volunteer links and support page) and email it back to tasasylum@gmail.com.  Thanks!

Please help spread the word by mentioning this website and our upcoming info sessions to your friends.
