Since 1945, Australia has played a major role in providing protection and opportunities for refugees – both by resettling people in need from overseas, and by enabling people seeking asylum to apply for protection in Australia. Providing a welcoming, secure and respectful environment for refugees results in greater social and economic benefits for everyone and a stronger, more cohesive Australia.
