Caring for Older RefugeesA Discussion Paper An estimated 675,000 refugees have settled in Australia since World War II. Around 13,000 refugees and humanitarian entrants settle in Australia each year, 4,000 of them in NSW. However, the exact number of older refugees living in NSW is not known. Most older refugees in our community have grown old in Australia after fleeing persecution in their own country. Some have arrived as part of Australia’s Refugee and Humanitarian Program, while others have been reunited with their children through the broader Migration Program. What older refugees have in common is that they were at risk of serious human rights abuses because of their race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or their political opinion, and were forced to leave their country. Their experiences of organised violence and/or war mean that, compared with other older people in the mainstream community or other migrants, older refugees have additional needs. While older refugees are likely to have a higher risk of poorer psychological and physical health than the mainstream population, this is largely unrecognised by policy makers or by service providers responsible for their treatment and care. How their additional needs intersect with ongoing settlement issues has rarely been examined, leaving older refugees and their carers with many barriers to using services. While some individual services, including those who helped develop this paper, have recognised the issues of older refugees, there is little such acknowledgment either at the level of Australian and State/Territory Government policy, research, and planning, or at the level of service provision and practice. A central recommendation of this paper is that the Australian and State/Territory Governments should acknowledge older refugees as a group with special needs related to their past experiences, and that this should be reflected in research policies, funding guidelines and service planning and delivery. Australian and State/Territory Government policy needs to recognise settlement as a lifelong process in which issues may arise at different life stages, and take a ‘whole-of government’ approach where policy and funding guidelines for services to older refugees are shared between a number of departments. Providing services to older refugees should not be the responsibility of the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs alone. The following is a summary of some of the steps recommended by the Older Refugees Working Group to ensure that
