From its beginnings in Australia in 1986, Refugee Week is now a global festival that takes place over one week in June, and encompasses World Refugee Day, marked annually on June 20. During this week, thousands of events take place around the world. In Australia, Refugee Week is centred on celebrating refugees, amplifying their voices, listening to their stories, celebrating the contributions they make to our communities and delighting in the diversity they bring to our country.
Besides marking the 40th Refugee Week, 2026 continues our celebrations of the millionth visa issued through Australia’s humanitarian program. We would love your organisation to be part of these landmark celebrations of hope, resilience and community.
