Stand Together for our Neighbours and Friends
Published on 15 July 2025
Melton City Council has joined the Mayoral and Councillor Taskforce Supporting People Seeking Asylum, advocating for fairness, compassion and dignity for people seeking safety and a chance to rebuild life.
With over 40 participating local governments across Australia, the Taskforce coordinates the Back Your Neighbour campaign, advocating to the Federal Government for work rights, a fair immigration process and essential social supports for people in need.
Collective advocacy efforts have contributed to permanent protection for 20,000 refugees and investment into addressing processing delays.
But we can’t stop here. We need your voice to ensure lasting change. Join us in supporting a compassionate and just approach for our neighbours wanting to rebuild their lives in safety.
