"Recent conflicts in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Sudan and Gaza have displaced large
numbers of people. In each case, Australia’s humanitarian response has been
different. Some people have been able to acquire a visa and travel to Australia
relatively easily; others have been stuck.
Once here, wildly varying visa entitlements mean some people have access to
work rights, health care and other services; others are barely surviving.
In a new policy brief, we argue the Australian government should create a new
emergency visa for humanitarian crises.
We believe the government needs a more streamlined, equitable, predictable and
effective response to assist people facing a real risk of persecution, extreme
danger or other serious harm."
