Visas
Humanitarian Program
Within the current humanitarian program is an offshore component (which helps people in humanitarian need overseas, for whom resettlement in another country is the only option) and an onshore component (for people in Australia seeking protection - that is, seeking refugee status).

Applicants may apply or be sponsored under this program depending on their status and location.

 

Offshore Program

There are two main categories within the offshore program:
• refugee
• special humanitarian program.

 

Refugee
This category is for people outside their country of nationality or usual residence who have suffered, or hold a well-founded fear of persecution, and who are in humanitarian need of resettlement.

 

Special Humanitarian
This category provides help to those outside their country of nationality or usual residence, who have experienced substantial discrimination amounting to a gross violation of human rights, and for whom resettlement is an appropriate solution. Applications must be supported by people resident or organisations based in Australia.

 

Onshore Program
People who are already in Australia may be eligible for a Protection Visa (refugee status) if they engage Australia's protection obligations under the 1951 UN Convention and 1967 Protocol relating to refugees.

Each application for a Protection Visa is assessed on its merits, with all information supplied by applicants being taken into account.

Successful applicants are granted a Permanent Protection Visa (PPV).
