Settling better: reforming refugee employment and settlement services - Report

Dear members

I have found recently this important report submitted by the Centre of Policy Development. This report identifies five principal barriers to newly arrived refugees finding jobs: limited English, a lack of work experience, poor health, a lack of opportunities for women and having only been in Australia for a short amount time. Also the report look at barriers and how to reduce their impact.

I have included two links that you can download a copy of the rerpot.
