Each year the Australian Government decides the size and composition of
Australia’s Humanitarian Program, taking into account the views of the
Australian community, the views of peak refugee and humanitarian
organisations, the views of government organisations and resettlement needs
identified by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees.
