Advocacy

The Centre for Refugee Research undertakes advocacy at national, regional and international levels, including through annual attendance at meetings of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The Centre's advocacy work draws on rigorous academic research to identity gaps and needs in situations of forced migration, and to develop tools and support innovative laws to address identified gaps. The advocacy work of the Centre has achieved national and international acclaim.
In Australia, CRR works closely with local organisations on issues of policy and practice in refugee protection and resettlement, in particular the Refugee Council of Australia, Amnesty International and the national Council of Churches.
