The Federal Government’s Community Support Program (CSP) aims to help people applying for humanitarian visas (CSP visa) to settle in Australia. Australian businesses, families and individuals can offer employment through the scheme, and community organisations can offer settlement support.

As an Approved Proposing Organisation (APO) under the program, SSI can propose individuals in humanitarian situations overseas to take part in the Community Support Program in Australia. Our goal is to support potential humanitarian applicants who have eligible supporters for successful resettlement in Australia. We aim for them to become financially independent and have meaningful lives in Australia within a year of their arrival.

How we help

We work with local and international communities to identify and assess suitable applicants and their supporters by the program guidelines.
We provide assistance with the lodging of visa applications.
We assist with settlement services for applicants following arrival in Australia.

Get in touch

If you are interested in participating in the CSP as either an Australian Supporter or Humanitarian or Refugee Applicant, please familiarise yourself with the CSP Eligibility Requirements.

If you have read the CSP eligibility requirements and met the requirements for the community support program and if you or the person you are hoping to support is interested to progress, please fill in the Expression of Interest (EOI).
