More than 20 community groups are prepared to immediately begin privately sponsoring refugees to Australia should the federal government approve a new program modelled on a Canadian policy.
Guardian Australia reported on Monday that the government was looking favourably at elements of a Canadian refugee sponsorship scheme in which private groups or community organisations cover the financial costs and settlement support for humanitarian entrants.
Canada’s program, established in the 1970s, has welcomed more than 300,000 refugees over four decades, in addition to the government’s resettlement schemes.
Australia’s immigration minister, Alex Hawke, told the Guardian he looked forward to “ensuring the program becomes a genuine, successful partnership between community, business and the government”.

The nine NPA militia members turned themselves in to the Community Support Program (CSP) team of the Philippine Army 61st Infantry Battalion (61st IB).
Capt. Ruel Llanes, acting civil military officer of the 301st Infantry Brigade (301st IB), said all nine were supporters of the NPA Southern Front Committee in Panay Island.
“These individuals act as the eyes and ears of the enemy in their barangays (villages) to report on the presence and movement of government security forces,” said Llanes.
The NPA militia members also offer logistical support to the NPA.
Aside from the nine NPA militia members, a regular NPA rebel also surrendered. The 24-year-old male rebel known as “Agot” was assigned to an NPA platoon in Tubungan, Iloilo.
