Blue Mountains Refugee Support Group was founded in 2001, twenty years ago. We are a group of ordinary Australians who remain united by the vision of a compassionate Australia where people seeking refuge and asylum are treated with justice and compassion. We are all volunteers. BMRSG has no particular religious or political affiliation except a commitment to common decency.

Take Action
Amazingly it’s the seventh year of the Youth Shoebox Project. With schools under pressure and an increased demand for our new Afghan arrivals, we need more help than usual.

Keep up to date on important reports, our submissions to government, other advocacy sites and our latest newsletters.
Donate
Due to COVID many refugees have lost their casual jobs. In 2021 we spent $209 000 on refugee support mostly on rent relief and food assistance.
What we do
We offer friendship and practical support for refugees and people seeking asylum to enable refugees to thrive, not just survive as they develop their own skills activities and businesses
