To articulate Australia’s vision of successful settlement and integration in the Australian context, the Department has developed the Refugee and Humanitarian Entrant Settlement and Integration Outcomes Framework (the Framework).
The Framework builds on the strong foundation of Australia’s world-class settlement services. It will help to:
- improve our settlement services
- enhance positive settlement outcomes for refugees and humanitarian entrants
- guide government agencies delivering settlement services from planning through to programs and evaluation.
The Framework comprises eleven interrelated domains and two underpinning principles. These outline a structured approach to good settlement and integration outcomes. Each domain and principle reflects an area critical to successful settlement and integration:
Domains | Principles |
|---|
Language and digital literacy Understanding host culture Economic participation Health and wellbeing Housing and transport Education Social Connections Community welcome Access to institutions Belonging Safety and security | Self-agency Self-efficacy |
Over time, the Framework will include outcomes and indicators to support the delivery of coherent and coordinated services across the broader settlement space. It will also establish a means of measuring progress against each domain.
