Support for Australians directly affected by overseas conflict

Published: 20 April 2026

Support may be available if you’re an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible visa holder directly affected by conflict in the Middle East.

If you’ve been affected by conflict in the Middle East, we have payments and support to help Australian citizens, permanent residents and eligible visa holders.

There’s different support available depending on whether:

  • you get a Centrelink payment or not
  • you’ve already returned to Australia or you can’t return because of a conflict.
