Purpose

Support for temporary visa holders, people seeking asylum and people with an uncertain visa status to help meet their basic needs.

Overview

Emergency relief is to help people meet their basic needs, like food, medicine or shelter.

This support is for people who do not have access to Commonwealth income support (including SRSS, Special Benefits and Job Seeker).

Your application will be assessed for all available emergency relief available in your state or territory at that time.

If eligible, payment amounts will vary according to your situation and family size.

We know you may be in a difficult situation, however this is not income support and we know the payment may not meet all your needs.

Limitations

Who is this service for?

Applicants must meet all of the following:

  • Live in Australia
  • Be unable to access Commonwealth Government Income Support
  • Be seeking asylum, hold a temporary visa or have an uncertain visa status
  • Have no or very limited income, savings or community support
