Asylum Seekers in Australia

Asylum seekers in Australia are denied access to most mainstream social services including, employment assistance, income support, English language classes, health and education services. In addition, their ability to participate in community life is limited, as a result of long periods of uncertainty about their status and, in many cases, because they are denied permission to work.
