Let them stay for good
Sign the petition now to support the hundreds of people still living in visa limbo after being brought to Australia from offshore detention.
Sign the PetitionAround 700 people were brought to Australia from offshore detention for urgent medical treatment. Many have now been here for years, some for over a decade. They've built lives, gone to school, found work, and become part of their communities.
Yet they remain on insecure, short-term visas, with no pathway to permanency and no certainty about what comes next.
Some arrived as children and have grown into adults never knowing what a stable future looks like. Others have spent years rebuilding their lives here, only to face the constant threat of being sent back into limbo.
This uncertainty affects every part of people's lives - their ability to work, to study, to plan, and to feel safe.
Take urgent action for the 700 people still living in limbo. Sign the petition.
It’s time to let them stay for good.
Listen to the 'Out of Sight, Out of Mind' podcast
For more than a decade, the Australian Government’s offshore detention system was designed to keep people out of sight.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind is a new podcast series that brings their stories back into view.
Over the four part series, you’ll hear directly from the people who were forced to survive offshore detention on Naoero (formerly Nauru), alongside people who witnessed the system firsthand.
Together, their stories reveal the human impact of a policy that continues to this day.
