The everyday lives of Australians have changed dramatically, as we try to protect each other from coronavirus. But while the message is that we are ‘all in this together’, the policy responses to this pandemic are playing out with specific, and often severe, consequences for the tens of thousands of people here on precarious visas.
This is a recording of a Kaldor Centre webinar held on 14 May 2020, which explored the impact of COVID-19 on refugees and people seeking asylum in Australia.
The discussion was moderated by Professor Jane McAdam, Director of the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law. She was joined by:
Sarah Dale, Centre Director and Principal Solicitor at the Refugee Advice and Casework Service
Frances Rush OAM, Chief Executive Officer at the Asylum Seekers Centre
Shukufa Tahiri, Policy Officer at the Refugee Council of Australia, and a Steering Committee member of the National Refugee-led Advisory and Advocacy Group
