At CARAD we provide a range of services to our asylum seeker, refugee and detainee clients. All of our programs are designed to provide holistic support to our clients and are tailored to meet their needs. Our clients come to us through referrals from other agencies and through self-referral.
We endeavour to assist every client who comes to us for help in the most supportive way possible. We value providing a welcoming and inclusive service for our clients and prioritise those who are in the most desperate need of support.
