Australian Refugee Association

The Australian Refugee Association Inc. (ARA) is a community-based organisation providing settlement, migration, and other forms of assistance to refugees, migrants and other people of concern. 

For more than 45 years, ARA has been assisting people from refugee and migrant backgrounds to settle permanently in Australia and create a better future for themselves and their families. At the heart of our migration services is a goal to reunite families wherever possible, as we recognise this is often key to successful long-term settlement.

Our compassionate team of registered Migration Agents and Legal Practitioners provide accurate and realistic guidance, expert advice and assistance with visa, residency and citizenship applications.
