Our most recent CCJP seminar was held on Wednesday 9 July. 

We had the great privilege of hearing from Frances Rush OAM, CEO of The Asylum Seeker Centre, whose topic was "ASYLUM MATTERS – WHERE ARE WE AT?  International, National and Personal Perspectives".

Frances was joined by Abang and Sangee, who are both asylum seekers, and their experiences of applying for asylum. Abang is a powerful voice for resilience, hope and transformative change. Sangee is a mum, a chef and a true inspiration.

We were to have Dr Graham Thom, Advocacy Co-ordinator RCOA,  and Refugee Adviser, Amnesty International, however he was called urgently to London and was unable to appear, much to his regret.’
