Show your support for refugees

Refugee stories are a chance to acknowledge the journeys made by refugees and people seeking asylum on the path to seeking safety.

Through these stories, we can celebrate resilience and bring together people of diverse backgrounds, fostering a deeper sense of community and inclusion.

The stories you’ll find here champion the journey of refugees to Australia seeking safety, bringing a lifetime of skills, education and experience. It also sheds light on the barriers many refugees face: difficulty obtaining employment, navigating unfair visa processes, unpredictable changes to study and work rights, language challenges and a lack of local experience or simply not having their overseas qualifications or work experience recognised in this country.

Behind every face is an important story that paints a vivid picture of the ongoing journey seeking safety that refugees and people seeking asylum face. These stories empower the main characters to have their voices heard, their challenges seen and their dreams amplified, as they reclaim their identity in a new chapter.
