Each year around 200,000 people move permanently to Australia, and many more come temporarily for work or education – how are we, as a community, meeting their needs?

Join us for the fifth annual WA Migration and Mobilities Update, a one-day conference bringing together policy makers, not-for-profits, communities and academics to discuss the topical issue of belonging in Western Australia and addressing migrant and refugee inclusion.

Various panel discussions and talks by speakers from a range of sectors will explore questions such as:

• What does belonging look like?
• What are migrants’ and ethnic minorities’ experiences of inclusion and exclusion?
• How can services support belonging?
• To what extent is Australia’s migration system inclusive?
• How can we create inclusive spaces for migrants?
• What are the roles of schools, local councils, the media, and service organisations in generating belonging?
