ACRATH Fundraising Newsletter
COVID-19 has made millions of people around the world, including in Australia and our region, more vulnerable to human trafficking. In order to reduce the risk of trafficking during the pandemic ACRATH has expanded its outreach work to schools, health care providers and community organisations.
This month ACRATH, in partnership with St John of God Healthcare (SJGHC), is embarking on a major formation-training program from July to December which will be offered to 563 leaders from SJGHC facilities in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Timor Leste.

Edmund Rice Centre Letter
The latest news and images from Kabul are horrendous and deeply distressing to Afghan refugees who are here on Temporary Protection Visas or in immigration detention.
I know that the feelings of powerlessness we can experience in such situations can be overwhelming. However the reality is that you can take powerful and compassionate action NOW to help Afghan refugees and their families.
Please contact your Federal MP, asking them to urge the Morrison Government to:
- Grant permanent protection or citizenship to all Afghan people seeking asylum and refugee status currently living in Australia or in immigration detention
- Declare an intake of 20000 Afghan refugees (matching the Canadian commitment announced last night)
- Assist Afghan Australians with urgent family reunion applications for relatives who are in imminent danger
