My name is Sophie and I am a medical student at Monash University. I’m reaching out on behalf of a student-led volunteer initiative, Conversation In Isolation.

This will all be free-of-charge. Read more here.
Red Cross is receiving funding from the Australian Government for the next six months to deliver emergency relief and casework support. These funds are for people on temporary visas who have no way to support themselves and who have urgent needs. This includes food, medicine and crisis accommodation costs.

How to apply
The Red Cross will advise when they have the funds and

In the meantime, you can email call 1800 733 276 during business hours
if you need help with emergency payments, food deliveries, crisis accommodation costs or other support.
