Community advocacy successfully protected Australia’s 20,000 humanitarian places

“We warmly welcome the news that the Humanitarian program will remain at 20,000 places. People from refugee backgrounds bring immense courage, resilience, and valuable skills that enrich our communities every single day.” — Chris Chalubek, CEO, Australian Refugee Association.

A huge thank you to the Refugee Council of Australia (RCOA) for their incredible advocacy to protect these vital places. Every person finding safety brings new strength to our community.
