AUSTRALIA'S REFUGEE PROGRAM

People can seek entry to Australia either through the Migration Program (for skilled and family migrants) or the Humanitarian Program (for refugees and others in humanitarian need).

The Humanitarian Program comprises two components: offshore resettlement for people in humanitarian need overseas; and onshore protection for those people already in Australia who arrived on temporary visas or in an unauthorised manner, and who claim Australia’s protection.
