Dear Network members,

The Refugee Council of Australia (RCOA) and Settlement Council of Australia (SCOA) invite you to the latest National Settlement Policy Network Teleconference. The National Settlement Policy Network will provide an opportunity for RCOA and SCOA members to participate in planning joint advocacy on settlement issues.

The next Settlement Policy Network meeting will be on 17th August 2011 at 3pm AEST.

This month the teleconference will focus on: 

Measuring settlement: 
Exploring new research on refugee settlement outcomes and its implications for settlement services and policy.

Guest speakers on the day include Graeme Hugo, author of the recently published  "Economic, Social and civic contributions of first and second generation Humanitarian Entrants"
 

Members of RCOA and SCOA are encouraged to attend one of the dial-in hubs in their capital city.
