FLUCHTpunkt is a contact address for refugees; a coordinating office dedicated to the aid and support of refugees in Tyrol. Our services are available to all refugees in need of assistance regardless of their legal status.
Our aim is to ensure the acknowledgement and implementation of your social and legal rights. If you choose to contact us, our first task is to understand and clarify your request – with the help of a translator when necessary. We can then advise you regarding your personal situation, and refer you when necessary to other supporting services.
Female counselors are available for all women who prefer this option.
