$4 million in emergency support funding is now available to support vulnerable temporary visa holders and specialist migrant and settlement services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vulnerable temporary visa holders are increasingly at risk of hardship since the onset of the pandemic. We know that specialist migrant and settlement organisations have had to really step up in extremely challenging times to support some of the most vulnerable in our society with their most basic necessities.
Applications close at 4pm on Monday, 27 July 2020.
