Migration & Settlement
We assist migrants on their pathway to permanent residency and citizenship, and advocate against exploitation.
What is Migration and Settlement
A large number of people from South Asia come to Australia in the hope of making the country their permanent home.
However, the pathway to residency and citizenship for the majority of new migrants in Australia takes on average up to 10 years. The largest arrivals to Australia arrive on some form of temporary visa channels (such as student or skilled) and work through to get their residency.
Most migrants come to Australia on a variety of visas and frequently take years to become permanent residents.

What are migrant issues
Temporary Resident Migrants (TRM) pay taxes and contribute to Australia’s GDP but still have little or no Government support.
Migrants still suffer difficulties such as exploitation, systemic injustices, financial distress and little support through times of stress or ill health.
TRMs are open to exploitation and abuse but are too afraid of speaking up or reporting mistreatment for fear of deportation. Their trauma is rarely acknowledged, let alone understood.
The issues TRM face are diverse, complicated and challenging, adding marriage, family and obligations to the mix compounds the stress.
