Strategic Plan
2016–2018 People seeking asylum are
treated fairly and humanely
with their rights respected under
international human rights law.
The ASRC's strategic plan, 2016–2018 is our road map
and vision for the welcoming Australia we want for people
seeking asylum; one that is generous, compassionate,
embraces the resilience, entrepreneurial spirit and
potential of refugees to enable people to thrive. Our
three year strategic plan centres around four core pillars;
a thriving people centred organisation that invests in
the potential of refugees and people seeking asylum to
succeed; place their voices at the centre of our work;
deliver world class services; all while striving to protect
human rights and change community attitudes.
