Refugee law

What do you hope to gain/learn throughout your internship? I hope to learn how to interact with refugee and immigrant communities on a professional level through this internship. I want to learn how an organization reaches out to such a pool of people and how other organizations can do so too. I attended a workshop with CAAAV, a pan-asian community…

Advance Australia Fair. Many people have different meanings for this phrase. Some think it means that we must “advance our country to conquer others”; and that we must be the best. Some believe that to advance means to advance in technology, and that we should be the producers of projects inducing millions, but in fact, Advance Australia Fair does not mean any of these things. Along with our multicultural country, we should accept people of different cultures and religions into our communities.…

It makes you wonder what the true meaning of HR is when certain people are prioritised over others. The current government is still choosing to send children to Nauru and Manus Island, despite having knowledge of harsh living conditions, abuse…

Taking notes in most of my class helped me take notes during a conversation with a client at a fast pace. I do not talk much with clients when they came for their appointment, but I often speak with them on the phone. For current clients, I would say my name and the attorney that I work with. However, when I called a Hmong new client, I would introduce myself, and say the name of the organization in Hmong, if the client speaks a different language, then I would speak English as slow and simple…

INTRODUCTION This assignment demonstrates the health grade, cultural beliefs, norms and issues disturbing the well-being status of refugees in Australia. The people who live outside from their country of nationality or away from their routine habitation are known as refugees (Karlsen, E. 2011). They came from different countries, cultures, customs and languages, so they experience various difficulties while interacting with indigenous people of that land and results in deprivation of…

take place over the five months during the case-specific intervention. The semi-structured interview approach will allow the caseworker to ask a variety of questions in a casual conversation (Pe-Pua, 1989). This will inform our research with how the refugee is specifically having trouble finding a job. A variety of questions will assess linguistic, institutional and cultural barriers. Interviews with Syrian refugees who did not partake in the individualised case intervention will allow us to…
