Perth: Celebrate Welcoming Week with CRSA!

13 – 22 September 2024 | Perth, WA

The CRSA team is coming to Perth for a series of community events and celebrations as part of Welcoming Week 2024. Events are happening across the Greater Perth region in partnership with generous local organisations and community champions. 

If you’re in Perth or surrounds, please join us at an event as we celebrate the incredible achievements of the CRISP in WA and raise awareness of community refugee sponsorship and the vital role it plays in the settlement of refugee newcomers. In the face of a worsening global refugee crisis, the need for welcoming communities and compassionate locals has never been more important. This is your chance to stand with us, celebrate our collective achievements, and take action to build even more welcoming and inclusive local communities.
