Back Your Neighbour

Published on 07 October 2025

Hobsons Bay City Council has joined the Mayoral and Councillor Taskforce Supporting People Seeking Asylum, working with over 40 councils across Australia to advocate to the federal government for fairness, compassion and dignity for people seeking asylum.

Hobsons Bay is dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges faced by refugees and people seeking asylum, while fostering a culture of welcome, respect and inclusion. We celebrate their valuable contributions and the richness they bring to our community.

Join us in building a community that is inclusive, welcoming and supportive of all. You can help make a difference by:
