    Community Support Program in New South Wales

    CSP for NSW Only

    AMES Australia is an Approved Proposing Organisation (APO) in the Department of Home Affairs’ Community Support Program (CSP). The CSP is a private sponsorship program for people in humanitarian situations overseas.

    The CSP harnesses community support for refugees, including the willingness of the Australian business community to support refugees in practical ways through employment. Under the CSP, Australian Supporters (through APOs) are required to demonstrate they are able to provide adequate support to enable new arrivals to achieve financial self-sufficiency within their first year in Australia.

    AMES Australia is not currently accepting EOIs from Australian Supporters outside of VIC, NSW and SA.

    Before applying for an EOI, please read the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) page, and the EOI Terms and Conditions carefully (on the EOI page).
