The report addresses four key questions:- what sorts of characteristics define and differentiate the population of young people with refugee-like experiences currently residing in Australia?
- how should the 'needs' of refugee young people be conceptualised and what sorts of supports does this diverse group of young people require to enable a successful transition to independence?
- how well are federal policy and programs able to respond to the needs of refugee young people, particularly where family supports are inadequate or not available?
- what can be done to improve this service response and what examples and principles of good practice can be drawn upon as guides?
