Do you have a refugee background, or have you helped welcome refugees into your community?
If so, please help us celebrate your story during Refugee Week 2026!
In 2026, Refugee Week (17 - 23 June) will be celebrated with the theme of ‘A Million Stories’ to mark the one million permanent humanitarian visas Australia has issued since international calls in 1947 to help resettle people after the horrors of WW2. This remarkable legacy of welcome is one we should be deeply proud of, and one that has woven a rich tapestry of stories into the heart of our communities and culture.
To join in these celebrations Common Grace and the Australian Churches Refugee Taskforce (ACRT) would love you to share your story of welcoming or being welcomed into Australian communities over the past 79 years.
These stories will be shared during Refugee Week 2026 by Common Grace and the ACRT.
