BREAKING NEWS: The Australian Government has announced the end of temporary protection for refugees, bringing an end to a cruel and unnecessary policy. Read our media release about what this means for refugees in Australia and what work still remains. refugeecouncil.org.au/end-to-cruel-t…

Our Chair ⁦@ShabnamSafa⁩ & ⁦Zaki Haidari⁩ spoke to ⁦SBS News⁩ about gov announcement of permanency for TPV/SHEVs: “I hope this is a turning point in Australia’s deliberately designed inhumane asylum policies as we have much to address” sbs.com.au/language/dari/…

We welcome Anthony Albanese gov progressing 19k members of our community towards permanency. Building on Minister Andrew Giles MP reversing Direction 80 to make family reunion easier for those seeking safety, this is a significant step in the right direction. There’s more work to be done.

NRAAG is seeking a part time Project Officer to join our team - 7.5hours or 1 day a week. People with lived experience are very strongly encouraged to apply. More info here: refugeecouncil.org.au/jobs/?fbclid=I…

NRAAG has joined other advocates & legal experts in expressing our strong opposition to the Labor Government’s cruelty. These 3 brutal bills are deliberately inhumane & punitive to once again punish people seeking asylum & their communities in Australia. It must be stopped.
