Community-led refugee sponsorship

Community-led refugee sponsorship: What can Australia learn from the UK experience?

Ordinary citizens around the world are coming together to sponsor refugees, an experience that can transform individual lives and strengthen communities. As Australia is now shaping its own refugee private sponsorship initiative, it’s a critical time to learn from international best practice.

Join the ANU Public Policy and Societal Impact Hub for a discussion with Dr Russell Rook, a leading international expert, who will share his experience in developing the UK’s community-led model of refugee sponsorship, which gives charities, faith groups, churches and businesses the opportunity to support and resettle refugees.

He will be joined by Khanh Hoang from the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, and Shankar Kasynathan from Amnesty International Australia, who will talk about the history and future of community refugee sponsorship in Australia.
