Asylum and integration support

We are committed to refugees and migrants with direct support and advice.

When people flee from war and want to gain a foothold in a new country, three criteria are decisive for success: the housing situation, learning the language and consistent integration support that enables the asylum seekers to participate in social, cultural and societal life.

Did you have to leave your home? Are you a displaced person, entitled to be granted asylum, or entitled to subsidiary protection? We offer advice and support for your social integration in Carinthia, assist with everyday questions and health concerns.

We assist you with official applications, check your social security entitlements, and accompany you to authorities, when needed. We offer help with finding housing and connect you with integration programs in Carinthia.

Our free consultations are available in the following languages: German, English, Ukrainian, Russian, and Arabic - in person, in writing, and over the phone.

Please bring your registration certificate (Meldezettel) as well as the card for displaced persons / the convention passport - the card for persons entitled to be granted asylum / the card for persons entitled to subsidiary protection to your appointment!

We look after refugee families in our quarters and provide them with advice and support on all questions relating to the topic of integration. This is how we support people who want to stay permanently in Carinthia with their new start. We help primarily with clothing vouchers and, in exceptional cases, with financial bridging aid.
