Abstract
Nearly 7 million, or 28 per cent, of Australias current resident population came as new settlers. Their expectations ranged from economic success, to better education and health or a more human and safe life for themselves and their families. But, they all hoped that their new society includes them economically, socially and culturally. This aspiration for inclusion was further bolstered by Australian policy and dominant public discourse promoting the integration of resettled immigrants. Yet, an increasing number of settled migrants, especially those from a refugee background, find themselves socially and economically excluded from mainstream Australian society.
