Academic Research on Australia’s Refugee and Asylum Seeker Policy

In the first half of March 2013, CLAIR Sydney had the honour of assisting Professor Yoshikazu Shiobara of Keio University’s Faculty of Law with his research into Australia’s refugee and asylum seeker policy, particularly relating to children. The professor met with officials from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) in Canberra, New South Wales State Government departments and associated agencies, as well as many non-government organisations and local groups advocating for refugee and asylum seeker rights. DIAC also assisted Professor Shiobara’s field research with a tour of the Villawood Immigration Detention Centre.

We thank all government departments, agencies, organisations and community groups for their kind assistance with the professor’s research.
