Accelerating Settlement Outcomes

A research report on the role of early support in humanitarian migrants’ social and economic participation.

Australia’s multicultural diversity is fundamental to who we are as a nation. It is reflected in our communities, our workplaces, our schools and our neighbourhoods. It is part of the story of modern Australia, and it strengthens the social, cultural and economic life of our country. 

Australia has a long and proud tradition of welcoming migrants, refugees and people in humanitarian need. Settlement is not just about arrival. It is about what happens next, whether people feel safe, supported, connected and able to fully participate in the life of our nation. 

This landmark report by the Settlement Council of Australia, prepared by Deloitte Access Economics, shows the difference good settlement support can make.
