What is the CRISP program?
The Community Refugee Integration and Settlement Pilot (CRISP) enables groups of everyday Australians across the country to get involved in welcoming refugees into their local community from ‘day one’ of their Australian journey. You can find more detailed information on the CRISP, including guidebooks on how to apply, and what to do to prepare to welcome a refugee household, on their website. Most people form groups from within their existing community – perhaps a church, school or sporting group, so those can be great places to start a conversation. If this isn’t for you, you may be able to find others seeking to form a group in your area via the facebook ‘form a local group‘ page. For people in your own area, use the featured post to find your local page.
