Why the Hearts for Palestine Program?
This program aims to facilitate the seamless settlement and integration of newly arrived Muslim families from Gaza. It provides initial financial assistance for essential and personal needs, along with ongoing monthly living expenses for a stipulated period in Australia. Assistance is tailored based on the age groups within each family unit to ensure meeting appropriate basic needs during this challenging period.
With a decade of experience in emergency case management, we are grateful to leverage our expertise in assisting new arrivals. This includes a digital platform to track applications and associated identification documents. Additionally, we’ve developed an assessment framework to determine the most holistic way to assist individuals or families, extending beyond financial aid. Our established audit and reporting framework ensures full transparency in all financial distributions. A trained team of case workers manages cases with empathy, privacy, and proficiency in Arabic.
This highlights why local Zakat contributions are essential. When individuals contribute locally, it enables us to be better prepared for times like this, facilitating swift and targeted assistance. Local Zakat contributions empower us to build necessary infrastructure and resources, allowing for an immediate response during emergencies, such as supporting families from Gaza.

Who is this program for?
We anticipate the arrival of approximately 800 Palestinians in Australia on Visitor Visas (Subclass 600). The Warm Embrace program is designed to support Muslim individuals and families arriving in Australia from the Gaza conflict. Sponsors of individuals arriving from Gaza can apply for this program online through this page or by calling the 1300 663 729 hotline upon the sponsored individuals’ and families’ arrival in Australia. Applications will only require details regarding family composition, ages of individuals, and sponsorship information for the initial payment.
