"People who apply for asylum in Australia face significant delays in having
their claims processed. These delays undermine the integrity of the asylum
system, erode public confidence and cause significant distress to people
seeking asylum.
There are, at the time of writing, 28,691 applications for a protection visa
awaiting a decision at the Department of Home Affairs. At least 43,308
applications await review at the Administrative Review Tribunal.
For people seeking asylum who have their initial applications refused and seek
review in the Administrative Review Tribunal and in the Federal Circuit and
Family Court, the process can often take more than ten years.
Whoever wins the upcoming election inherits the daunting task of addressing
this issue.
Our research evaluated data on Australia’s previous attempts to increase
efficiency of asylum processing. We also examined international best practice
for designing fair and fast procedures, including lessons from recent
successful asylum reforms in Switzerland.
Here are five ways to make Australia’s asylum process more efficient."
