Explanatory video from Green Wings migration

This video from Green Wings migration talks about the challenges — and most importantly, the solutions — for migrating to Australia with health conditions or disability.

It breaks down how health requirements work, what people often get wrong, and what options may still be available when migration feels impossible.

Policy Scorecard

The Welcoming Disability Campaign has compiled a Policy Scorecard of the major parties’ policies regarding the migration health requirement (MHR). This Scorecard is a critical measure of where the major parties currently stand on issues which concern the Welcoming Disability Campaign and our supporters.  

The Policy Scorecard is a useful resource that you can use to engage with your local federal member or to begin a conversation with them about where they stand on addressing the discriminatory impacts of the MHR.
