The Scanlon Foundation's social-cohesion report Australians Today is the largest survey ever undertaken to look at the issues of Australian-born and immigrant Australians. One of the major themes in the survey is the initial problems of settlement in the country. Many arriving on Independent Skill visas say they struggle to find work, and nearly half indicate they are "just getting along" or struggling to pay bills. And those entering on humanitarian and asylum visas also say they are facing difficulties.
