Policy and
Law Reform
RACS, as one of the leaders in provision of legal
assistance to people who seek asylum, has expertise to
advocate for reform in refugee law and policy:
• RACS has written numerous submissions on
the draconian changes to migration law as it
pertains to people seeking asylum;
• RACS has visited Senators in Canberra to make
representations in order to argue for a more
considered approach to people seeking asylum;
• Spoken to the media on issues of concern.
• Informed the Australian Human Rights
Commission’s inquiry into children in detention
about the infringements of our clients’ human
rights
