The Australian Government introduced the Community Support Program (CSP VISA) on 1 July 2017.  The CSP visa enables communities, businesses, families, and individuals to propose humanitarian visa applicants with employment prospects and to support new humanitarian arrivals in their settlement journey. Visa entrants that apply through the Community Support Program will be granted an Australian Permanent Residency visa by the Department of Home Affairs. Potential CSP VISA applicants are not required to have existing links to Australia, and can be identified by an individual (such as a family member in Australia), a community organisation or a business with an interest in supporting refugees (known as ‘Australian supporter’) or by an Approved Proposing Organisation.
