SSI is funded by Multicultural NSW to provide emergency relief to asylum seekers and other vulnerable Temporary Visa Holders*, who are not eligible for Commonwealth Government income support during COVID-19.

Temporary Visa Holders from both metro and regional NSW may be eligible.

- Rent and utilities

Our team will also be able to link you to other services which may be able to help you address any challenges you might be facing during the pandemic.
