Australia’s Humanitarian Programme 2015-16 and Beyond

UnitingJustice has called on the Government to improve Australia’s Humanitarian Programme by recognising the rights of all asylum seekers regardless of how they arrived in Australia. Our submission makes a number of recommendations for next year’s programme including increasing the number of refugees that Australia accepts each year and working multilaterally (rather than bilaterally) to develop a genuine regional protection framework. We continue to support access to family reunion for all refugees in Australia.
