Help us fight for justice and freedom

Tuesday, June 4 2024

Right now, we’re at a critical juncture in our history where we must seize the opportunity for real change.

While we’ve seen some recent progress, it doesn’t come close to meeting our fundamental obligations and the values which underpin them: humanity, compassion, fairness and justice.

The reality is, a very big battle for justice still lies ahead.

Amidst this, we are launching our End of Financial Year Appeal.

We’re delighted to announce a match challenge sponsorship of $75,000 from a number of our pro bono law firm partners.

This means your tax-deductible donation will be matched dollar for dollar until 30 June – and your impact doubled.

Our profound thanks to our pro bono law firm partners. We simply could not continue to do the work we do without the partnerships and collaboration of our pro bono partners. Ultimately, so much of our work is powered by these partnerships – and the will of the community for decency and justice.

Real change demands a big reform agenda and swift action. The reforms must start here:

• Abolish indefinite detention
• Establish a reassessment process for people refused temporary protection
• Increase the Refugee and Humanitarian intake significantly
• Resolve the situation of all people held in PNG and Nauru, and those brought back, offering enduring protection
• Expand options for family reunion

Every day, we will be fearlessly defending the rights and lives of thousands of people who seek our help, while advocating for major reform – and justice.

Please donate now to our EOFY Appeal. Every dollar you donate will be matched up to $75,000 by our pro bono law firm partners until 30 June.

Sincerely and with thanks,

David Manne
