What is RESIG?

The Refugee Education Special Interest Group (RESIG) is an Australian network of people from the community, higher education, vocational education and school sectors who have an interest in supporting educational opportunities for students from refugee backgrounds. RESIG is managed by a steering committee that includes people from a range of universities, tertiary colleges, schools, and student representatives in Australia.

The RESIG focuses on three main areas of work:

1. Encouraging networking and collaboration across education and community sectors at local, national, and international levels.
2. Sharing information, resources, and good practices.
3. Advocating for improved educational opportunities and outcomes for students from refugee, refugee-like, and other forced migration backgrounds.
