Building a workforce ready for the future.

Empowering refugees to access higher education, training, and professional recognition in Australia.

 Refugee Student Settlement Pathway Pilot

 The Refugee Student Settlement Pathway is a pilot program aimed at creating a permanent, complementary pathway for young refugee students (aged 18-30) to migrate and settle in Australia to take up tertiary education opportunities.

A cohort of 20 refugee students has been selected for the first intake and will arrive in Australia on Special Humanitarian Visas to take up university studies from semester 1, 2026. Each student will be supported on their learning journey by an Australian university and a local campus support group to assist them with settlement and integration.

Skill Path Australia will announce the next intake soon.
