Celebrating Refugee Week

The aim of the celebration is to educate people about who refugees are and why they have come to Australia, to help people understand the many challenges refugees face, to celebrate their contribution to our community, and focus on how we can provide a safe and welcoming environment.It's also a time for community groups and individuals to do something positive for refugees, asylum seekers and displaced people; and for service providers to reflect on whether they are providing the best possible services to refugees.This year’s theme is ‘Finding Freedom’ which encourages us all to show compassion and celebrate the resilience of the refugees that call Australia home.To live without the fear of war, to have your basic human rights upheld, to live in equality and without the fear of persecution are just some of the examples of what freedom can entail.
