How does SRSS work?
People receiving support under SRSS will receive service under one of six SRSS bands, depending on their personal circumstances, level of need, and stage in the immigration process. People may also move between bands as their immigration application progresses or if their circumstances change.

Asylum seekers who are not eligible for SRSS
Some asylum seekers are not eligible for case work support through SRSS. Asylum seeker support organisations like the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre provide case work support to this group.
