A lot of the answers to questions in school projects can be found in our resources and fact sheets.
For students
Here students will find all kinds of information and resources about people seeking asylum to help you learn more and find out the real situation faced by people seeking safety in Australia.
Right to asylum
Every person has the right to live free from persecution, or from the fear of persecution. When governments fail to protect these rights, people have the right to move to a country that will protect them. This is the right to asylum.
Student Resource Kit
These documents help you to understand the stages involved in the process of seeking asylum to becoming recognised as a refugee. Read through our list of false claims and statements people make about people seeking asylum and learn why they are myths and what the truth is. When you are ready, take our quiz in the Student Resource Kit to test your knowledge.
