Research about refugees
Our research about refugees focuses on effective strategies to promote these newcomers’ economic and social participation so they can settle happily in Australia. This includes:
- evaluating existing services and programs
- identifying features of successful models to help refugees enter the workforce
- advocating policies and programs to build cross-cultural community interaction and understanding.
