This research project has been undertaken by graduates from the
Department of Human Services as a learning exercise. The report finds that refugees face a number of barriers to obtaining secure and suitable housing. These barriers include lack of employment, lack of rental
history and references, low English proficiency, financial limitations and discrimination. Insecure tenure was also found to be an issue which causes
housing instability and frequent moves, disrupting refugees’ settlement experience.
