Long Summary

A report on a fifth phase of research carried out with newly arrived refugees in Australia explores the lived experiences of refugees with disability. Research on the experiences of refugees with disability in countries such as Australia is very limited, but points to a series of intersecting issues that both contribute to and hinder their settlement and integration as they begin a new chapter of their lives. It finds that experiences across social connections, engagement with services and access to rights are deeply interrelated, particularly for refugees who face challenges magnified by experiences of disability.

    Key Messages for Carers


  • Carers and others in the community can learn more about the experiences of newly arrived refugees living with disability in Australia.

  • Key Messages for Policy Makers


  • Settlement and integration rely on whole-of-community approaches, and on actions from refugees, host communities and government at all levels.
