Did you know that between July and September 2025, more than 2,360 refugee and humanitarian entrants to Australia settled in Victoria, and that 70% of those were under 35 years old? In the last 12 months our community has gained over 7,000 people arriving under refugee and humanitarian programs, most commonly from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, with Arabic, Dari and Pashto among the most spoken languages.

The Settlement Data Bulletin produced by Victorian Refugee Health Network for the third quarter of 2025 shows some of the settlement trends of people from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds arriving in Victoria that may assist in service planning and health interventions.

If you have any questions regarding this Data Bulletin or would like to receive more specific information and access to any of the raw datasets included in this report, please contact our team at refugeehealth@foundationhouse.org.au
