Regional Refugee Settlement Forum

Call for attendance

Forum October 12th 2021, 9.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m, AEST

Roundtable October 15th 2021 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m, AEST

These events will bring together key stakeholders to consider knowledge gaps, challenges and opportunities affecting the diverse processes and experiences of humanitarian migrant settlement in regional Australia.

The full-day forum will include short 15 to 20 minute presentations from diverse stakeholders, including: people and communities with lived experiences of regional settlement as humanitarian migrants, academics, policymakers, practitioners, and volunteers.

The forum will be followed by a half-day roundtable. This roundtable will be structured to allow participants to collaboratively plan outputs derived from the insights generated via the forum. This event aspires to develop materials that will enable meaningful communication of forum insights to a diverse range of audiences (e.g. academics, policy makers, community groups).

The proposed forum and roundtable offer an opportunity to:

  • Conduct a stock-take of key learnings about regional settlement,

  • Deepen the research and practice focus on recognised knowledge gaps, and

  • Discuss and develop practical responses to persistent challenges. 

Deadline for registration: 6 October
