This election, Vote with Refugees
Our community is stronger when we’re united, but time and time again politicians use fear and division to try and win votes. Together, we can prove them wrong this election.
Commit to voting for fairness and compassion – vote with refugees.
Our election scorecard
How do the major parties stack up on issues that matter for refugees?
In the lead-up to this election, ASRC asked refugees and people seeking asylum what mattered most to them. Their answers shaped our key election priorities — from permanent visas and community support to ending offshore detention.
We then asked candidates what their commitments are to these key policies. Their responses shaped our voter scorecards, making it possible for you to decide which parties support fair and compassionate policies.
ASRC is an independent and non-partisan organisation. We do not endorse any party or candidate.
See here for more detail explaining ASRC's key policies and party scores.

The ASRC would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation as traditional owners and custodians of the land on which the ASRC stands.
