Thanks for the opportunity @SabraLane and @abcnews - The Bright Side is a great podcast series and I was honoured to be able to share our story of how everyday Australians can make a direct and meaningful difference in the lives of refugees.

One of the most common experiences we hear from group members is how the program brings out the best in their community. We see local businesses, schools giving their time, resources and expertise to help the group in their support of a refugee household. refugeesponsorship.org.au

Ever asked yourself ‘But what can I do to make a difference?’. So did this support group member. When coming across the CRISP, they knew this was a real way they could have a personal impact, responding to the global refugee crisis through meaningful, local action.

#LisaMillar invited David, Ana, and Monica on @ABCNews Breakfast to talk about their involvement in the Community Refugee Integration & Settlement Pilot (CRISP). More everyday Aussies are welcoming refugees through community sponsorship. And you can too - t.ly/lJtKS

Great to be at #RegionsRising Summit and hearing from Minister @CatherineKingMP. Regional Australia has a huge role to play in refugee resettlement. Community Sponsorship provides a great model for local communities to ‘opt in’ to refugee settlement & plug infrastructure gaps.
