Refugees—CRISP program

MS CHEYNE: I have information in response to Mr Cain’s and Mrs Kikkert’s questions on the CRISP, the Community Refuge Integration and Settlement Pilot. As I think was detailed in their question, this is a new settlement program through which refugee visa holders receive settlement support directly through trained community groups called community supporter groups. This is about allowing groups of everyday Australians who are trained to get involved in welcoming refugees into their local community from day one of their Australian journey. There are already, I understand, a number of small community groups in the ACT who are interested in potentially sponsoring a refugee family through the CRISP, and I am pleased to say that we are arranging for the CEO to present at the next ACT Refugee, Asylum Seeker and Humanitarian Coordination Committee in the next couple of weeks, for more information.
