The world is experiencing the largest humanitarian crisis since the end of World War II with 65 million forcibly displaced people worldwide. 

Paul Power is the Chief Executive Officer of the Refugee Council of Australia.  He says Australia has accepted over 880,000 refugees in the past seven decades. The organisation is working to draw attention to the needs of refugees worldwide and recognise their contributions to Australia.  Queensland-based Access Community Services provides a range of resettlement services to help bring refugees back on their feet.  Chief Executive Officer Gail Kerr says the organisation supports refugees who speak little English and have no former job experience to develop new skills in paid work placements.
