This report touches on the stories of seven people subjected to offshore detention since July 19, 2013. The people interviewed and the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre call for the immediate evacuation of the 80 people remaining in Papua New Guinea, permanent resettlement for all, and a Royal Commission into offshore detention.

This report aims to promote collaboration and highlights opportunities to strengthen a sector-wide, multi-agency approach. It is hoped that this report will build greater awareness of the immediate challenges faced by asylum seekers navigating the local labour market, and serve as a tool for policy and service providers to advocate for change.

On 14 September 2012, Australia sent the first people back to Nauru under the second version of its offshore processing policy. This joint report examines what is happening to around 900 people who are still stuck on Nauru six years later, including an estimated 109 children.
