Similar rallies are being held in capital cities and across the country, urging the federal government to allow asylum seekers to remain in Australia.
"The High Court just threw out a challenge by the Human Rights Law Centre alleging the government had unlawfully detained people on Nauru, before they were brought to Australia temporarily for medical reasons," Ms Bleile said.
"Now the government is free to send 267 vulnerable people back to Nauru.
"We want as many people as possible to join our protest, calling for the government to #LetThemStay and not send them to Nauru."
The snap rally begins at 5.30pm in Central Park and will include guest speakers.
