Parisa1
The person has been in Australia for about 2 years. They came by airplane and were not a refugee. When they first arrived, they felt happy about the new places but also sad missing family and friends. They found the English language difficult since they knew nothing about speaking or writing it. Finding housing, language, and communication were hard. Information was provided about healthcare, social services, and local places. The biggest challenge was the language barrier which made everything difficult. They wanted more information about education and the government. They found answers by learning more about the country they now live in. Extra help upon arrival could have made the experience better. Their advice is to continue learning English through daily practice to help new migrants and refugees settle in faster
Interview laila5
The person has been in Australia for 24 years, arriving as a young child on an airplane from their home country. They were scared when they first arrived because they could not speak English and were separated from extended family. Starting kindergarten was difficult. Information provided on arrival was about school, uniforms, and books. It was hard to find good jobs. As a young child, they did not need or want to know much. Their parents helped answer questions. The best advice for new migrants and refugees is to learn as much as possible, use interpreters, know your rights, and build a supportive network. We can help them settle by providing services, assistance, and community groups in local areas.
