Romero Centre

Inspired by the mission of Oscar Romero and a deep respect for the human sovereign soul, the Romero Centre aspire to support the most vulnerable people in our community.

-We recognise that community harmony, cohesion and respect are the true foundations for real safety
-We walk the path where human dignity is considered sacred and where love has no borders
-We aim to strengthen the fabric of our deeply cherished local community by supporting the men, women and families who have been subject to experiences of torture, war, violence, sexual violence, and oppression and who are struggling while seeking refuge in Australia.
Supported by the compassion and generosity of individuals, schools, faith organisations, foundations, and businesses, we are deeply honoured and grateful to be able to practically act on our community’s wish to uphold the respect for human dignity. We do this by ensuring that the most vulnerable individuals and families, who are still pleading for humanitarian safety, can make their ‘safe haven’ in Australia.

The Romero Centre is a Brisbane-based organization that provides a range of support for people seeking asylum and refugees, including practical aid like food and housing assistance, skills training (English, computer, sewing), legal and health support, and community-building activities. It acts as a welcoming, safe space for vulnerable individuals and families who are navigating life in a new country, offering a "drop-in centre" and a place for social connection, while also advocating for their rights and educating the wider community
