15 – 21 June
Theme: Finding Freedom: Diversity in Community
During Refugee Week, celebrate the inclusive communities across Australia that open their arms to those seeking protection.
Start planning now! Information and resources are available from the Refugee Council of Australia

In 2025 the Finding Freedom theme continues, with a focus on community.
Communities offer refugees safety, belonging and the strength to rebuild. They bring people together, showing that our differences make us stronger, more united and capable of facing challenges.
Community is where people find strength and where voices are amplified. It’s a space where everyone can feel safe, valued, and empowered to pursue their dreams without fear or judgment.
Celebrate refugees’ diverse stories
All Refugee Ambassador bookings for Refugee Week events must be made by 2 May 2025.

How can your community be a part of Refugee Week?
To support your event coordination, the Refugee Council of Australia are hosting an online panel of council staff from LGAs across Australia who annually host Refugee Week events. They’ll talk you through their event organisation process, share their tips and best practice, and inspire you to engage your own diverse communities.
