We need to advocate for Justice For Asylum Seekers and propose an Alternative Detention Model
One broad-based organisation working to come up with alternative solutions to the asylum seeker issue is Justice For Asylum Seekers. This is a Victoria-based coalition of about 35 groups, (including Oxfam Community Aid Abroad), jointly convened by the Ecumenical Migration Centre, The Catholic Commission for Justice, Development and Peace (CCJDP) and the Uniting Church. Justice For Asylum Seekers believes that alternatives to non-reviewable mandatory detention do exist – alternatives that both respect human rights of asylum seekers and maintain the level of security necessary to screen and assess claimantsof people on arrival and when they are in detention, including ensuring that they understand the process and their rights, and have access to appropriate, independent health and legal professionals;

• Greater flexibility in the consideration of a person's individual circumstances when deciding on their status;
• Equity of treatment between those who are detained and those who are not; around 85 percent of detainees are eventually cleared by immigration, yet in detention they are treated as if they are "guilty" until proven "innocent".
• Reducing the time every individual spends in detention, including maximum time limits, thereby making considerable savings and allowing people to live in the community where most eventually settle;
• Through these and other steps, bringing the detention regime into line with Australia's international treaty obligations, and addressing the criticisms of the United Nations Human Rights Committee.
