 I
am in Australia.
Refugees and asylum-seekers are people seeking protection
in Australia because they fear persecution in their homeland.
A refugee applies for protection from outside Australia.
An asylum-seeker comes to Australia and, once here,
applies for protection.
If you are in Australia and you fit the definition of “refugee”,
you can lodge an application at any office of the Department of
Immigrationl and Citizenship.
If you are NOT in immigration
detention, you must pay a fee of $30.00 for the application.
You can find the addresses of Department of Immigration offices
in Australia here
There are two types of visas available to asylum seekers. Clicking
on the links below will give you a short summary of each type:
Protection Visa (Subclass 866)
Temporary Protection Visa (Subclass 785)
To learn how your application will be dealt with by the Australian
Government, click here.
More information about migrating to Australia as a refugee or humanitarian
entrant can be found on the Department
of Immigration website
