French Assist is a not-for-profit organization. It provides support and assistance to French-speaking people in need in Queensland, whether they are living or temporarily in Australia.
Also, run by a team of volunteers, there is a close collaboration with the French consulate, who will refer cases or provide invaluable advice on some cases.
The services and involvement are very diversified, and issues can take days, months, and in some cases, years to resolve.
Moreover, French Assist provides moral and practical support to people in need. From those who are in hospital or in court, to those needing assistance with administrative documents. You can contact French Assist just to talk to someone.
