Abstract

The authors reflect on the commitment of the Refugee Health Network of Australia (RHNA) with overcoming the barriers between refugee health care (HC) providers and policymakers in Australia. They identify the main purposes of the RHNA as to inform and support quality holistic HC for refugees and to offer advice on issues in refugee health. They also discuss some of the accomplishments of the RHNA particularly in the issues of HC reforms and humanitarian settlement services.
