Recent Advocacy Updates
13 Years Waiting for Permanency
There are approximately 700 “transitory” refugees living throughout Australia who do not have a pathway to permanency. They already suffered when they were sent to Nauru before being sent to Australia for medical reasons. They are people living in limbo and they need our support and advocacy, although many have been our neighbours for up 13 years.
Family reunion for wellbeing
Many refugees who waited for more than a decade on temporary visas, now have the security of a permanent visa. However, many people have partners, children or parents still in danger in home countries. There are still many uncertainties, and potentially profound disappointment and grief.
Out of Sight Out of Mind: Offshore processing by Australian governments.
Australia’s policy of offshore detention has been one of the most controversial aspects of its immigration and asylum system over the past two decades. People who arrive by boat seeking asylum are sent to processing centres outside mainland Australia, rather than allowing them to have their claims assessed on Australian soil. This process is also called “externalization”.
