This Refugee Week (14–20 June), we recognise the courage, resilience and contributions of people from refugee backgrounds across Victoria.

This year’s theme ‘A million stories’ reflects the milestone of more than one million refugees welcomed to Australia since 1947, and the countless individual journeys that shape our shared community.

The Commission stands with those seeking asylum and refugees, recognising the need to deepen our understanding, challenge harmful stereotypes and reaffirm our commitment to human rights.
