Post-election briefing: What’s next for refugee justice?

It’s clear from this election that attempts to stoke fear and division over refugee policy fell flat. Voters didn’t buy it — they want fairness, compassion and action. Now it’s on us to hold Labor to account and show just how deep and broad public support runs for real, lasting change.

This is a pivotal moment. We need a loud, organised, visible movement to ensure the government acts quickly and doesn’t backslide.

Now is not the time to step back — it’s the time to step up. Together, we can ramp up pressure to make sure refugee rights stay at the forefront of the political agenda. That means mobilising across and amplifying the voices of people with lived experience so they are heard where it matters most.

Join us for an online briefing to unpack what the election result means for refugees and people seeking asylum, and what needs to happen next to deliver real, lasting change.

What to expect:

• Insights on the election result and ASRC’s national campaign
• First-hand perspectives from people with lived experience of seeking asylum
• ASRC’s advocacy priorities in this new term of government
• How you can take action to help turn this moment into meaningful progress
