More than 30 Australians at the notorious Al Roj camp in northern Syria are seeking a Melbourne court's help to compel Canberra to bring them home.

"The situation of the remaining persons detained is stark and dire," said Peter Morrissey, counsel for the charity Save the Children, which is acting on their behalf. "Save the Children Australia represents women and children charged with no crime, detained in piteous and appalling conditions," he told the court.
"Their health, safety and dignity are seriously compromised by any standard. Their detention in the camps has endured for several years."
