1. The challenges and barriers experienced by clients engaged with the Humanitarian program;
2. The composition and size of Australia’s Humanitarian Program;
3. Australia’s role in responding to global and regional crises;
4. Issues concerning offshore humanitarian applicants; and
5. Issues concerning onshore humanitarian applicants.
