Who We Are

The Montmorency Asylum Seekers Support Group (MASSG) is passionately committed to supporting and advocating for people seeking asylum. We are community members, mostly from Banyule and Nillumbik council areas. MASSG is an independent, community-based volunteer organisation.

We welcome new supporters and volunteers to our friendly monthly meeting as well as our regular campaign and advocacy work meetings.
