Submission to Discussion Paper: Next steps to improve Australia’s settlement and integration of refugees

Description

This submission is directed to the Department of Home Affairs in response to the discussion paper on Next steps to improve Australia’s settlement and integration of refugees. It focuses on the unique settlement challenges faced by young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. The submission provides recommendations for a more youth-focused approach to settlement services, including better coordination between services, the need for a national youth settlement strategy, and the importance of culturally appropriate support systems. MYAN advocates for policies and services that recognise the distinct needs of young refugees to ensure their successful integration into Australian society.
