Please note that Western Sydney MRC is no longer funded to deliver Temporary Protection Visa Financial Assistance.
While we are unable to provide direct financial assistance, we understand the importance of accessing support during challenging times. We have compiled a list of alternative emergency relief organizations that may be useful to you. You can download the list here.
We recognise that recent policy changes may have caused confusion and concern for TPV holders. Although we cannot provide legal advice regarding visa types, we strongly recommend seeking assistance from reputable organisations such as the Refugee Advice and Casework Service (RACS) or the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC). These organisations specialise in providing legal advice and support to individuals seeking protection in Australia. For more information, please visit
At Western Sydney MRC, our core services are centred around assisting refugee and migrant communities, especially those who have been in Australia for less than five years since their initial arrival.
Assistance is not always guaranteed, but we will always refer you to a relevant service if we aren’t able to assist you. Western Sydney MRC is not able to provide ongoing or long-term financial support but aim to provide immediate assistance to those in times of crisis.
You are not alone. We're here to listen. We are a national charity providing all Australians experiencing emotional distress with access to 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention services.
It can make a real difference having someone to talk to. To hear what you have to say. And to give you advice. Our free mental health services help connect you to that person.
The Transcultural Mental Health Centre (TMHC) works with health professionals and communities across New South Wales to support positive mental health for people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
