The Consideration of Refugee Rights in Australia in its Role in Reaching the Policy Aims of Integration
Öz
This paper examines Australia’s adoption of a Safe
Haven Enterprise Visa (SHEV) in 2014 for unauthorised maritime arrivals, or
asylum seekers who arrived by boat. This new model allows the asylum seeker, if
found to be a genuine refugee, temporary protection with the potential of permanency
through the pathway of other existing visa streams in Australia’s Migration
framework. This visa provides the asylum seeker the right to study or work in
regional Australia. Subsequently, if the applicant holds this visa for three
and a half years, the applicant is then eligible to apply for any other
available visas within the Australian Migration framework for which they
satisfy the relevant criteria. This, in practice, resolves
a number of issues; protection obligations and skilled labour shortages in
certain areas of the country and is argued to assist, consequently, in the
issues of integration. The paper will examine the development and progress of
this new model, which adds another criterion for asylum seekers for their
pathway for permanency through their skill base to be used in the receiving
country, namely Australia. The use of their skills can assist in the perception
of contribution to Australia whilst also assisting the asylum seeker in
integrating within Australia.
