About

This is a bi-national, sector-leading conference focused on refugee trauma recovery and resettlement practice, policy, research, and lived experience. It brings together practitioners, researchers, community leaders, and government stakeholders from across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond.

What is FASSTT?

The Forum of Australian Services for Survivors of Torture and Trauma (FASSTT) is a network of Australia’s eight specialist rehabilitation agencies that work with survivors of torture and trauma who have come to Australia from overseas. Most clients of FASSTT agencies have come to Australia as refugees or humanitarian entrants. There is one FASSTT member agency in each state and territory of Australia.

Our annual leadership camp was a wonderful opportunity to learn, connect, and create lasting memories.

A heartfelt thank you to Motutapu Outdoor Education Centre for the engaging activities, our counsellor Abbi for the insightful wellbeing workshop, Zheng for capturing beautiful moments, and our dedicated youth and co-design team for making it all possible.

In 2023, the RASNZ Community & Youth celebrated the grand opening of their new space, marking a significant milestone in community engagement. The event, highlighted by the collaborative efforts of Eliana, Judy, Yui, Patrick, and Joyce, was not just a celebration but a heartfelt gathering enriched by laughter and warm connections. This organisation is committed to empowering young individuals from refugee backgrounds, helping them grow in confidence and integrate into society through various supportive and celebratory events. The day was a vibrant acknowledgment of unity and the collective potential of the community and its youth.
