Our immediate objectives

While we acknowledge the progress made in government policy since 2022, we continue to advocate urgently for the following:

>> Fair and Timely Refugee Determination Process We call for the establishment of appropriate processes to fairly assess the claims of approximately 10,000 people still seeking protection including progression of proposed reforms to the administrative review regime and abolition of the Fast Track process.
>> Family Reunion Prioritization We strongly advocate for the prioritization of family reunion applications for refugees granted permanent protection.
>> Evacuation of Asylum Seekers in PNG We work towards the transfer of individuals seeking asylum who were sent to PNG by Australia and wish to come to Australia.
>> Comprehensive Support We seek urgent provision of an adequate and dignified level of economic, social, health, and educational support for all refugees, individuals seeking asylum, their children, and those who arrived as children.
>> Release from Detention We advocate for the continued release of those seeking asylum from locked and community detention.

Our long-term objectives

Looking ahead, we aim for lasting change by advocating for the following:

>> Abolition of Mandatory Detention
We seek the abolition of mandatory detention for all asylum seekers, regardless of their mode of arrival.
>> Human Rights Act We support the establishment of a federal Human Rights Act that recognizes Australia's international obligations.
>> Regional Processing and Elimination of Offshore Detention We work towards the implementation of an effective regional processing program, including resettlement for those in Indonesia, and the elimination of the practice of offshore detention.
