Settling well: a longitudinal study of refugees in regional Australia

Project Description

This PhD project explores how humanitarian migrants who have been resettled in regional areas of Australia are integrating with the wider host society. It also attempts to explore how these migrants interact, settle, and make a living in the areas. Through this, the project will explore the wellbeing of the migrants. It will compare the wellbeing of migrants with that of the host society. At the end of the project, the aim is to develop a concise tool that can be used to measure the wellbeing of migrants.
