AFAO continues to develop policy related to Australia’s migration law.

Our discussion paper, Migration Law and HIV: The case for reform of Australian migration law and policy to ensure that the human rights of people living with HIV are respected and protected, (PDF – 147.3 KB) outlines Australia’s migration policies as they affect people living with HIV, and makes recommendations for policy reform.

AFAO considers that the most pressing issue is the need to reform Australia’s migration policies affecting HIV-positive refugees. AFAO’s policy position regarding the need for reform of these policies is set out in our Position Statement, Call for reform of Australian migration policies affecting refugees living with HIV (PDF – 184.8 KB)

People with HIV who are considering migrating to Australia will also find our recently updated Immigration Factsheet helpful.
