Embrace Sanctuary Australia
Creating a community of welcome and connection for those displaced from their homelands.
Vision…
A diverse and inclusive future embracing all those seeking refuge.
Mission…
We exist to empower, educate and equip individuals, churches, community groups and those seeking refuge to create communities of welcome, connection and belonging in Australia.
“More community. More hospitality. More generosity. We are all made for more. Life is too short not to live lives of generous welcome and abundant community. ”
The global refugee crisis is of never before seen scale and it requires coordinated community efforts from individuals, churches, community groups and organisations alike to find creative solutions. We are creating communities of welcome, that are empowered, educated and equipped to help settle those displaced from their homelands into a new home.

Experiences of Sanctuary Family Retreat.
Sanctuary Family Retreat
‘It has profoundly affected me. I think it will take some time for me to process the impact. I do believe that the veil between heaven and earth was very thin on this retreat. I have been on a zillion Christian camps but nothing as profound and exciting as this one. It is a privilege to have been part of it.’ Reverend Peter Carolane, team member.
Join us as we create sanctuaries of welcome and connection and hope for all those forcibly displaced from their homelands! Our Sanctuary Intercultural experiences are opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds to come together. We share food, activities, our culture, stories and our lives. The aim is that each person present would feel welcomed, safe, connected and have a sense of hope for the future. Your partnership makes this sanctuary a reality!
