Abstract

Australia has resettled over 750 000 refugees since Federation in 1901. In recent years the annual intake has been around 14 000, and this year around 20 000 refugees are settling in urban, regional and rural centres across Australia. A significant proportion of these individuals have had refugee status awarded overseas and are settled here under Australia's Humanitarian Migration Program, with full access to Medicare. A smaller number arrive by plane or boat as asylum seekers and their access to health services varies depending on their situation.
