Migration justice
Our vision: An Australia where all people who cross national borders have a right to dignity, safety and a pathway to making Australia a permanent home.
Our focus
-
Families belong together. Yet the Australian Government is deliberately separating thousands of refugees and people seeking asylum in Australia from their families overseas. Working closely in consultation with people directly impacted, we are addressing this injustice using a combination of strategic legal action, public campaigning, advocacy, and policy reform work.
-
Australia’s inhumane offshore detention regime has destroyed thousands of lives and caused unthinkable suffering. Nearly 200 people remain abandoned in Nauru and Papua New Guinea. We continue to fight to end this harmful policy and we will not stop until every single person can rebuild their lives in freedom and safety.
-
Ending offshore detention is only the first step towards repairing the years of harm caused by this cruel policy. We use legal action and advocacy to ensure there is accountability for the damage done, and to develop public recognition that it must never happen again.
-
Over the last 20 years, Australia’s approach to immigration has become increasingly punitive and has led to countless human rights abuses. We are working with partners to devise strategies to shift Australia’s immigration policies to an approach that treats people with dignity, compassion and respect.
