Welcome to Sanctuary Northern Rivers! Sanctuary Northern Rivers Inc. is a community based group situation in the northern rivers region of NSW. Lismore is our home base, with many of our supporters from towns and supporters from the surrounding towns and communities.
It has been our privilege since 2003 to represent the aspiration of our community in supporting refugees. The main effort of our endeavours has been to assist refugees gain a humanitarian visa in order that they may find a home where security and harmony and peace provides them with a new hope for their future. Indeed, it has been an honour to walk with these refugees in along this road...
Sanctuary Northern Rivers was established to bring refugees to Lismore and depends on volunteers from the community. About half the national annual intake of 13,000 refugees must be sponsored, which means that the sponsoring organisation pays the refugees’ airfare and assists with their resettlement into the community.
Sanctuary Northern Rivers, founded by Dr Michael Douglas, has helped relocate about 100 Sudanese refugees.
Here are some new faces that Michael Douglas and associates have brought to the Northern Rivers.

What about a white sanctuary for people who don't want to live in diversity? Will whites get any native title?
