What does it take to feel at home?
A safe place.
A chance to work.
Someone to talk to.
A community that welcomes you.
For people arriving in Tasmania from migrant and refugee backgrounds, finding that sense of belonging can take time — and sometimes, support.
This October, you can walk for it.
The Big Tassie Walk brings people across Tasmania together to walk, fundraise and show that everyone belongs.
Why your support matters
People arrive in Tasmania with hopes, skills, families and stories of their own. Some are rebuilding their lives after war, persecution or trauma. Others are navigating a new country, finding their identity, looking for work or trying to build connections.
Walk. Fundraise. Bring someone with you.
The walk starts soon…
Your steps can help someone take theirs
A step towards work.
A step towards connection.
A step towards feeling safe.
A step towards belonging.
THANK YOU
Thank you for walking, fundraising, sharing and showing your support for a Tasmania where everyone has the opportunity to belong.
Together, we are better.

Leave a legacy of welcome, belonging, and opportunity.
At MRC Tas, our mission is to work alongside people from refugee and migrant backgrounds so individuals and communities throughout Lutruwita/Tasmania thrive.
For many, the journey of settling into a new community comes with real challenges, and our ability to provide support where it’s needed most is made possible through the generosity of others.
By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help ensure that future generations receive the support, resources, and opportunities they need to build strong, connected lives in Tasmania.
Your bequest can fund services and initiatives that would otherwise go unfunded, from community-building activities and educational support to tailored resources and social inclusion programs.
Including MRC Tas in your estate planning is a meaningful way to continue supporting the causes and communities that matter most to you. It’s a legacy of compassion, empowerment, and hope.
Below are some essential tips to help you plan your bequest effectively.
Before Leaving a Bequest to MRC Tas , please ensure you have addressed the following
Use the correct legal name
When making a bequest, it is crucial to identify MRC Tas by the correct legal name. Our legal name is Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania. Please include our A.B.N and, if possible, our address to ensure your gift is directed to us accurately.

State a purpose for your gift
You have the option to leave your bequest unconditionally, allowing MRC Tas to use your gift where it is needed most. Alternatively, you can specify the purpose of your gift, such as supporting a particular program. Visit our Services page to explore the various services and programs we offer.
Discuss your Intentions with Family
Discussing your charitable bequest intentions with your family is important. This ensures they understand the significance of your gift and why it matters to you. In Tasmania, if dependants feel they have been left without adequate provision, they may challenge the estate under the Testators Family Maintenance Act 1912.
