2017 Annual Refugee Consultation (people from refugee backgrounds and who are seeking protection) |
1. Introduction
Each year since 1984, the Refugee Council of Australia (RCOA) has provided detailed input to the Australian Government on the planning of the following year’s Refugee and Humanitarian Program. RCOA will be conducting local consultations around Australia to seek input to inform its submission to the Minister and the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) on Australia’s 2018-19 Refugee and Humanitarian Program. This year, RCOA is seeking feedback on Australia’s Refugee and Humanitarian Program, alternative pathways for protection, settlement priorities, views on Australia’s asylum policies and international refugee needs.
