Andrew Beer and Paul Foley analyse 434 interviews with refugees in Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane during 2002-2003. The survey was structured to report on the housing experiences and needs both of Temporary Protection Visa arrivals into Australia and refugee immigrants who came to Australia as the holders of a Permanent Protection Visa. The research adds to the evidence base surrounding the housing of refugees within Australia, and specifically addresses the accommodation of TPV holders - a relatively new group of arrivals.
