Our Mandate

We encourage the public to support our campaign to put an end to mandatory detention and adopt alternative solutions that are legal and ethical. Just and inclusive government policies are important to build a sustainable future for this country.

RISE Drop-In Centre

Located in our Drop-In Centre are a computer lab, the RISE Resource Library and the RISE Food Bank, all of which are accessible to community members. The Drop-In Centre exists to provide a safe space for community members to access a variety of RISE services.

RISE acknowledges that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the original owners and custodians of the land that we live and work on.
