AUSTRALIA’S HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMME 2015–16 AND BEYOND Information Paper December 2014 The Australian public is invited to provide their views on the management, size and composition of Australia’s Humanitarian Programme (the Programme) for 2015–16 and future years. Each year, the Australian Government seeks the views of the Australian public on the Programme. These views are taken into consideration in planning for and building future years’ Programmes. The continuing success of the Programme can only be achieved if it continues to have the support of the Australian public. An annual consultation process informs the government’s decisions about the size and composition of the Programme. Aims of the Humanitarian Programme The Programme aims to: • provide permanent resettlement to those most in need, who are in desperate situations overseas, including in refugee camps and protracted humanitarian situations • reunite refugees and people who are in refugee-like situations overseas with their family in Australia, and • use resettlement strategically to help stabilise refugee populations, reduce the prospect of irregular movement from source countries and countries of first asylum, and support broader international protection.
