STEP ONE
Sign Up As A Host
Sign up as a host and share some basic information about yourself, your expectations and the type of accommodation you offer. There is no commitment expected from you at this point, we will contact you in person first. If your circumstances change or you change your mind we totally understand.
STEP TWO
Match Host and Guest
We get in contact with you and discuss the program in more detail. We gather more details about your expectations and accommodation offer so we can find a suitable match. For security purposes, we will request you to complete a regular police clearance check.
Once a match is found, we set up a meeting over a cuppa between you and the potential guest. You both have the chance to get to know each other. We will discuss the ins and outs of your arrangements and take it from there.
STEP THREE
Find Ways To Help You Financially
Refugees Welcome Australia is entirely self-funded and volunteer-based. Unfortunately, we are not capable to support you financially at this stage. However, if you do need financial support we can help find ways to cover some of the costs.
STEP FOUR
Guest Comes to Stay
When both you and a guest are comfortable about the match, your guest moves in and we provide regular check in support to you. You continue to share accommodation for an agreed length of time, for a minimum of 3 months or more. If either of you decide the arrangement is not working, Refugees Welcome will be responsible to find another home for your guest.
