For migrants & families
Before you make a decision
Check the source
Use the responsible institution’s official website to check recruitment and migration information. Ask a counsellor to explain anything you do not understand before making a commitment.
Understand the agreement
Ask for clear information about work, costs, documents and conditions. Keep your own copies and seek qualified advice where terms or promises are unclear.
Know where to turn
Identify official and specialist support before you need it. Consider what information is safe to share, with whom, and through which channel.
For returnees
Returning home can raise new questions.
Work, documentation, family relationships and wellbeing may all need attention. Different services have different eligibility conditions and areas of coverage.
The Migrant Resource Centre provides information for people returning from abroad. Ask the relevant provider directly about current support, any costs, eligibility and next steps.
Protection & referral
A referral should lead somewhere.
Before sharing information with an organisation, ask what it can offer, whether it can accept a referral and how it will protect your information. Ask whether your details will be shared further and what choices you have.
C-SAM’s service directory
Verified member service listings will be added after providers confirm their services, coverage, eligibility and public contact details. The member directory identifies organisations; it is not a list of available services.
Know your rights
Rights begin with the person.
The right service depends on your circumstances. Refugees and people seeking asylum, migrant workers, trafficking survivors and returnees may need different forms of support. For advice about a particular situation, contact a qualified legal or protection provider.
