Campaign for Permanant Visa - Perth
26/10/2024
Help our Refugee Community:
Everyone deserves to live with security and dignity. A stable life is essential for good mental health and well-being. Young refugees need hope and a chance for a better future. By supporting these refugees, we can help reunite families and improve their mental and emotional health.
Stand up for Permanent Visas:
We are refugees who have been left behind for over 12 years. Many refugees have lived in Australia without a permanent visa. We pay taxes and contribute to Australian society. This long period of uncertainty has caused deep pain and suffering. Families have been torn apart, with loved ones separated for years.
Ongoing Issues:
Overlooked children: Many refugee children who arrived by boat with their parents are not eligible for HECS loans, making it nearly impossible to access education beyond Year 12.
They want to contribute to society but need the opportunities provided by permanent visas.
Family separation: Uncertainty causes extreme distress within families, leading to domestic violence, addiction, and emotional divorce. This is incredibly unhealthy for any family unit.
Separated from families overseas: Refugees have been unable to see their loved ones overseas, and sometimes they pass away, adding to the heartache.
Deprived businesses: Without stability, refugees cannot start businesses, obtain loans, or buy houses, preventing them from contributing to the economy.
Refugees in this condition lack access to Medicare and the right to work, relying on charitable support for essential needs. These constraints prevent them from achieving stability and contributing fully to society.
