Assisting refugees with their social inclusion into southwest Brisbane and Ipswich, Australia community  

At Refugee Connect, we (Ken, Ros, the board, and a team of volunteers), have helped over 400 refugees and people seeking asylum since 2008.   

Based on the Refugee Connect Friendship model (not just being friendly in a clinical setting), we provide counselling, in-home tutoring for kids, budgeting, English support for parents, and a range of first aid classes. We help them navigate various government and non-government agencies. In the early days, Ros even supported ladies in the birthing ward.  

While we understand that the need is great, we are currently working to capacity and don’t want to compromise our service, so we are not accepting any new clients at this time. The families we are helping are fairly well situated at the moment for general goods. We will post any needs that arise on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/refugeeconnect/ 

As we do not have any legally qualified staff, we are not able to provide any legal services.

Would You Like to pray with us?

If you have a heart for the refugees and migrants in our community, want to learn more about effective prayer, or are a seasoned prayer warrior, we invite you to register for our prayer support program.   

Prayer is vital in our work. Since the beginning of this ministry in 2008, we have seen many miracles and healings within our refugee and migrant community. 

We are aware of the dangers some of our families and extended families face in their country of birth, so we do not use names.  

We would like a brief profile of your background, e.g. church/home group/prayer groups.
