How the Homeward Assisted Returns Program can help
We provide a free service for eligible non-Australian citizens who wish to voluntarily depart Australia.
We’ll assess your eligibility for the program, and when it’s approved, you’ll be allocated a case worker who will help you get the travel documents and forms you need for your journey.
We’ll arrange your travel, accommodation, and flights for your trip home, doing our best to help you travel on the dates you prefer. We’ll also cover the costs for you, so you won’t be out of pocket.
