About this event
Melaleuca Australia's Refugee Week program ran across five days and focused on the theme Finding freedom: family. The week included an opening event, a public gallery, school and adult entries, and community-led activities.
Why it mattered
For UAANT, Refugee Week sits naturally alongside settlement support and public advocacy. It creates space for refugee communities to be seen through their own stories, not only through policy or crisis language.
Key elements
- Opening event with welcome, drumming, vigil, and cooking demonstration
- A public gallery open across the week
- Storytelling and art contributed by local schools and migrant learners
