Understanding Resettlement
Support after arrival
Beyond resettlement, ongoing support helps families settle, learn, work and belong.
Refugees are not just survivors, they are future contributors.
Arriving in a new country is the start of a longer journey. What is offered depends on the country, the programme and the city or town, so always check the official source for the country concerned.
Housing
Reception and help finding safe, affordable housing. Many programmes arrange temporary accommodation on arrival.
Healthcare
Health screening, registration with health services and access to mental health and specialised care where it is available.
Education
School places for children, and language classes, training and recognition of qualifications for adults.
Employment support
Help with CVs, job search, skills training and connecting with employers.
Community integration
Orientation, mentors, sponsors and local groups that help newcomers build friendships and take part in community life.
Programmes, quotas and eligibility rules change often. Always confirm current details with the official government source linked on this page.
