Australian Refugee and Humanitarian Visas provide protection for individuals
fleeing persecution, violence, or human rights violations. The program includes the
following key visas:

1. Refugee Visas (Offshore Subclass 200, 201, 203, and 204):
   ◦ For individuals outside Australia in need of resettlement.
   ◦ Includes categories such as Refugee (Subclass 200), In-Country Special
   Humanitarian (Subclass 201), Emergency Rescue (Subclass 203), and
   Women at Risk (Subclass 204). 2. Global Special Humanitarian Visa (Subclass 202):
   ◦ For individuals outside Australia sponsored by a proposer (e.g., family
   or community) who face substantial discrimination or human rights
   abuses.
2. Permanent Protection Visa (Subclass 866):
   ◦ For asylum seekers already in Australia who meet refugee or
   complementary protection criteria.
   ◦ Grants permanent residency and access to work, study, and government
   services.
   Applicants must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution or substantial harm
   under international protection obligations. The program reflects Australia’s
   commitment to assisting vulnerable individuals through permanent resettlement.
