23.01.2022 A devastating situation for any sister or family. As a community, many of our natural instincts have been taken away from us and that ability to jump on the next flight and be home within 24 hours is gone. Dealing with loss, is already difficult, being so far away from home even more so

22.01.2022 Merry Christmas to all. May you all have a day filled with joy and comfort. From all the team at the Irish Support Agency.

11.01.2022 Acting Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs Media Release 12 October Visa Application Charge Changes Working holiday makers... Backpackers on Working Holiday Maker visas who have been unable to come to Australia or who had to leave Australia early due to COVID-19 will also be eligible for a waiver when they decide to return to Australia. Those who are unable to return because they have passed the age limit for a Working Holiday Maker visa will be able to claim a refund. Working Holiday Makers are a major contributor to Australia's tourism industry and also fill critical workforce shortages, particularly in regional and rural Australia. On average, they spend all their money in Australia, contributing more than $3 billion a year to the economy and supporting local jobs. These changes build on a number of measures announced by the Morrison Government to allow Working Holiday Makers to remain in Australia longer and support the critical sectors of health, aged care, disability care, childcare, agriculture and food processing. Full Media Release is available in the link below https://minister.homeaffairs.gov.au//Supporting-tourism-an

09.01.2022 IASAQ IN THE MEDIA: - Our President Nicola featured in the Irish Daily Mail speaking about the unlikelihood that people will be able to travel home for Christma...s. We know a lot of you are worried about having to spend Christmas in Australia and not seeing family, its a daunting thought. However we're all in the same boat and can come together. Irish expats are really going to depend on one another this year which will really make you appreciate the support networks we have in Australia. The Irish-Australian community will rally together to make Christmas special. I would urge anyone who is feeling down about the holidays to get in touch with the many Support Agencies. - Our co-ordinator Paddy is radio this evening on ABC Brisbane from 7pm with Kelly Higgins-Devine. Make sure to tune in, its always a great show!
