Australia Refugee Response Index (RRI) 2021 - Access to borders and asylum |
The Refugee Council of Australia (RCOA) is undertaking a review of Australia's response to refugees using the newly developed Refugee Response Index (RRI) methodology. The RRI is a tool designed to assess and monitor countries’ response to refugees and asylum seekers. As a global assessment and monitoring tool, the RRI constitutes a baseline of country performance information inspired by the adoption and implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees. Australia is one of a number of countries currently conducting a review using the RRI tool.
If you would like to know more about how RCOA is gathering evidence and coordinating the RRI Australia review, contact Dr Louise Olliff, Senior Policy Advisor (louise.olliff@refugeecouncil.org.au).
For questions about this survey or if you would prefer to provide input by participating in an interview or focussed group discussion, contact Paula Cruz Manrique, Policy and Research Assistant (paula.cruzmanrique@volunteer.refugeecouncil.org.au).
Evidence gathered from this survey will feed into the RRI Australia assessment and final report. At the end of this survey, you will be given the option to be named as an expert in the final report.
Pillar 1. Access to borders and asylum.
The RRI analytical framework is comprised of 6 pillars. The 10 questions in this survey are to gather expert opinion and evidence relating to some of the indicators in Pillar 1 "Access to asylum". All questions are asking you to assess Australia's response in 2021 by scoring (from 5 to 1) policies and practices regarding access to borders and asylum.
