ABSTRACT
This chapter critiques much of the taken-for-granted terminology that is used to describe forced migration experiences in Australia. After presenting the contexts in which forced migration occurs with a specific focus on Australia, it considers the ways in which transformative social work perspectives can help to inform critical multicultural resettlement practice. The chapter focuses almost exclusively on the third durable solution: resettlement. It also focuses mainly on resettlement as a durable solution that provides lasting protection for refugees.

It argues that how the various different aspects of integration intersect housing, health, employment, community relations, and civic engagement and so on. To consider how critical multicultural resettlement practice can be envisaged,.
