Welcome to Refugee Education Australia
We are a national charity committed to supporting refugees and people seeking asylum living in Australia to engage in all levels of education.
We help people to access, participate in, and succeed in education and beyond into meaningful work.
Our vision is for Australia to have a vibrant education system that is inclusive and actively supports refugee students to thrive and achieve their potential.
What is our ethos?
As a national charity focused on supporting educational opportunities for students from refugee backgrounds, we understand that this is a collective endeavour that starts and ends with community.
Our operating principles
- REA will have at least 50% lived experience of forced migration on the Advisory Board.
- REA will prioritise the lived experience (of refugees, young people, mature age learners, all types of education) in decision-making.
- REA will work collaboratively with refugee community groups to amplify our messages.
