Refugees in Australia
It is around 13,000 refugees that flee to Australia on a yearly basis. That’s around 13,000 displaced persons who may not be able to speak English and are unfamiliar with the customs and lifestyle of Australian culture and for many, dealing with the trauma of what the title ‘Refugee’ encompasses. As Australians, some may say it is our duty to assist our newly arrived friends to settle into Australian culture. To think that in a new country, there are so many laws and procedures to be able to drive a car; there are so many options when shopping for food; and there is an abundance of opportunities you never thought possible, however, you have no idea that you are good enough to seek them, is a completely overwhelming experience for a newcomer in Australia. If you have ever wondered what being a refugee might feel like, you may be interested in finding out more about what you can do, to help the successful settlement of our newly arrived entrants.
