Federal Election Policy Platform 2013

Description

This election policy platform presents the key issues and recommended responses for young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds in the context of the 2013 Australian federal election. Recommendations are designed to address identified issues and are based on an understanding that this group of young people commonly face additional and more complex transitions to their Australian-born counterparts and have particular needs in their settlement journey. A targeted or specialist approach to policy and service delivery is essential to ensure their meaningful and sustained social, cultural and economic participation in Australian society. Recommendations also highlight the importance of evidence-based practice based on consistent data collection and evaluation mechanisms.
