People seeking asylum face complicated challenges and uncertain futures.
Our individualised case management service enables people seeking asylum to access the right mix of support and expertise. We provide and connect asylum seekers living in Brisbane with practical support (like food and shelter), legal connections, English classes, medical care, trauma counselling, community events and more.
We share their journey and help make their life easier.





New hope from breaking point
Esther fled from the danger and oppression of Iran. Arriving in Brisbane, she struggled to find basic food and shelter. Her smile shows how much her life has changed.
The Romero Centre was established in 2000 in response to the needs of people arriving in Australia seeking safety and human rights. In December 2003, the Romero Centre came under the care of The Sisters of Mercy.
The Romero Centre is named after Archbishop Oscar Romero from El Salvador, a passionate human rights campaigner. His legacy of hope and courage continues to inspires all that we do.

“The ones who have a voice must speak for those who are voiceless.”
Archbishop Oscar Romero (1917-1980)
