Background:
Recently 15 million Syrian and Iraqi people fled their homes because of war and human rights violations. In 2015, Australia committed to settle 12,000 of them as humanitarian entrants. In 2012 the Government streamlined the health waiver for all humanitarian visa applicants meaning that people with disability were more likely to get a visa. Little is known about the implications of this change for Australian service providers as the number and circumstances of refugees with a disability who have been resettled here to date is unknown. This paper describes one part of a larger study to explore the impact of resettlement in Australia for Iraqi and Syrian refugees with disability, their families and service providers.
