HELD ANNUALLY IN JUNE
Our diversity makes Australia a great place to live. Refugee Week is Australia’s peak annual activity to inform the public about refugees and celebrate positive contributions made by refugees to Australian society. The first Refugee Week events were organised in Sydney in 1986.
Refugee Week provides a platform where positive images of refugees can be promoted in order to create a culture of welcome throughout the country. The ultimate aim of the celebration is to create better understanding between different communities and to encourage successful integration enabling refugees to live in safety and to continue making a valuable contribution to Australia.
Refugee Week in Australia is always held from Sunday to Saturday of the week which includes 20 June (World Refugee Day).
