Helping Ukrainians since 2015

As the sovereignty, freedom and right to self-determination of Ukraine is attacked by President Putin, I strongly support the people of Ukraine both within and outside of Ukraine.

For over 70 years, Ukrainian migrants (and their descendants) were granted the opportunity, through the generosity of Australia and the spirit of multiculturalism, not only to live by Australian values but also to contribute their rich ethnic heritage & culture to our shared Australian cultural heritage tapestry.

The Parliamentary Friends of Ukraine are a vibrant community of proud Australians with a shared heritage and love for our multicultural home.

The Senator’s office can assist you once you have submitted a visa application. Our office can not assist with filling out the form, but we can contact Home Affairs on your behalf to get any further information or updates as to the status of the application.
