SWALK supports --
The Lower North Shore Sanctuary Movement began as a response to the need of refugees granted visas but lacking the resources to travel from their country to Australia.
Since 2001, our group has raised over $200,000 and helped 140 people –- men, women and children from Africa and Asia –- to reach Australia.
We work with the International Office of Migration who bring cases to us and refugee community groups who help with settling the new arrivals.
 The Black Dog Institute is a not-for-profit research, educational, community support and clinical body specialising in mood disorders -– a range of disorders that includes depression and Bipolar Disorder.
he Institute’s aim is to advance the understanding, diagnosis and management of mood disorders by continuously raising clinical, research, education and training standards. In doing so, the Institute aims to improve the lives of those affected – and in turn the lives of their families and friends and work colleagues.
 The Institute, based at Prince of Wales Hospital, is affiliated with the University of New South Wales, and supported by NSW Health.
