Projects

While JRS Australia is based in Sydney, its projects and involvement extend to Christmas Island, the Pacific and Papua  New Guinea. JRS also maintains strong links with our JRS counterparts in South East Asia, Africa, Europe and the United States.

Locally, JRS runs a Shelter Project, visits the Villawood Detention Centre and works collaboratively with other refugee agencies, particularly in the realm of advocacy. JRS continues to research climate change-induced displacement in the Pacific, supports a project in the western province of Papua New Guinea, and recently became involved with asylum seekers housed on Christmas Island. For more information about these projects, follow the links on the left.
