This website will provide you with resources to assist you to support students from refugee backgrounds.

It covers 3 main areas:

• Voices of refugee students
• Support tips
• Additional resources

The content was directed by interviews undertaken with students from refugee backgrounds who currently study at a university in Western Australia.
