RISE: Refugee Survivors and Ex-detainees supports the call for JUSTICE and FREEDOM by our communities in Manus Island detention camp. 1. #ShutdownManus. 2. Bring the asylum seekers in Manus onshore to Australia. 3. Process their claims fairly & humanely in the community.

There are many ways for you to support the work that RISE: Refugees, Survivors and Ex-Detainees does. Whether you want to volunteer your time at the RISE Resource Centre, organise a food or clothing drive to assist newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers or would like to gather signatures for a petition, there is space for you to help us.

As an ex-detainee, asylum seeker and refugee coalition organisation, RISE urges the public not to be misled by the justifications for the current cruel treatment of refugees and asylum seekers coming to Australia on boats or planes.

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.
