The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre says Australia could easily triple its humanitarian and refugee intake.

The remarks come as events have been held across the country to mark World Refugee Day.

The Federal Government says it will increase its refugee intake to nearly 19,000 places by the end of 2019.

But the chief executive of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Kon Karapanagiotidis says much more needs to be done.

An exhibition has opened in Sydney to highlight the world's so-called Bottom 100.

It features images of those facing extreme hardship due to poverty, war and displacement.
