Celebrating Refugee Week 19-25 June

With courage let us all combine is the theme for Refugee Week.  The theme is taken from our Australian national anthem.

It takes courage to be a refugee.
It takes courage to leave what is familiar and begin a new life.
It takes courage to speak out against injustices.

Refugee Week is an annual event to raise awareness of the issues affecting refugees and celebrate the positive contributions they make to Australian society.  

Did you know Australia was home to 35,582 refugees in 2015! 

Navitas is proudly a major sponsor of Refugee Week.  For more information on what's on and to join an event in your area visit Refugee Week website.
