For 21 years, United Federation of Volunteers for Refugee Action has been a champion for refuges and migrants from around the globe. Our legacy of courageous and compassionate service has made a difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who have sought safety and hope in Australia’s communities. Our history reflects UFVRA Australia’ deep refugee roots and passionate commitment to welcoming newcomers, especially those who are most in need. In partnership with community-based legal and social service providers nationwide, UFVRA has helped over 43,000 refugees and migrant rebuild their lives in Australia.

Informed by our ufvra and decades of experience with refugees and migrants , we have responded to people caught in conflict and facing persecution. We have developed new service programs, birthed new service organizations, and influenced public policy in the best interests of those we serve.
