State Greens MP Amy MacMahon said the men were “essentially being released into poverty”.
“These men have unmet health needs, and insecure or no housing at all,” she said on Monday.
“Without support, it’ll be up to volunteers and community organisations to provide supports that the government really should be offering.”
She plans to write to Queensland’s multicultural affairs minister, Leanne Linard, asking the state government to step in and provide emergency housing and relief services.
The ASRC said detainees freed earlier this year from facilities in Melbourne received up to six weeks of support, including motel accommodation and income support payments, but that is due to soon run out.
