Humanitarian Settlement Program
Through the Humanitarian Settlement Program, funded by the Department of Home Affairs, we may be able to offer support, such as:
- airport reception
- short-term accommodation
- referral to mainstream and specialist support services
- connections to local community groups and activities
- assistance to find long-term accommodation
- help to learn English, gain employment and access education and training
- orientation to Australia.
Ukrainian nationals holding a non-humanitarian temporary visa who are in Australia (or who will arrive imminently) can be referred for limited settlement support if they are unable to access support through the community or family.
Ukrainian nationals who hold a temporary humanitarian visa, such as a Humanitarian Stay visa (449) or a Temporary Humanitarian Concern (subclass 786) visa, are eligible for all services under the HSP.
