About RESP
People who arrive in Australia on humanitarian visas often face major barriers in finding employment. The NSW Government’s Refugee Employment Support Program (RESP) provides support to make it easier for refugees to join the workforce and find skilled, long-term employment.
SSI delivers RESP services in two NSW regions. We help participants plan a pathway to employment, assess those who need additional support to be job ready, and link them to training resources and tools.
How we help
Am I eligible for RESP?
RESP is available to people who are underemployed or who are unemployed and require extra support.
Any person who has arrived in Australia from December 1, 2011 on a refugee visa, aged 16* to 66, is eligible for the program.
*For those under 18 years of age, we require a signed certificate of exemption.
