Welcome to the Victorian Refugee Health Network.
We work to develop responsive health service systems that meet the needs of people from refugee backgrounds, including asylum seekers.
The Refugee Council of Australia has submitted its annual recommendations for the Federal Government’s Refugee and Humanitarian Program and broader refugee policy. The recommendations are based on consultations with communities in every state.
This report is based on 188 interviews with people of refugee background who are eligible for citizenship after being in Australia for four years on a permanent humanitarian visa but have experienced considerable delays in the citizenship process.
