Mr Allan Morris
asked the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, upon notice, on 5 December 1996:
In each year since 1991, (a) how many migrants arrived under the refugee and humanitarian program, (b) how many migrants arriving under the program were sponsored by family members in Australia, (c) how many of those migrants were excluded from access to social security benefits for six months and (d) how many (i) refugees and (ii) sponsors failed to keep their obligations.
Mr Ruddock
—The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:
(a) Arrivals under the Refugee and Humanitarian Program from 1990/91 to 1995/96 were:
| Year | Refugee | Special Humanitarian Program | Special Assistance Categories | Total |
| 1990/91 | 1,267 | 6,478 | - | 7,745 |
| 1991/92 | 2,385 | 4,320 | 452 | 7,157 |
| 1992/93 | 2,688 | 3,169 | 5,082 | 10,939 |
| 1993/94 | 3,845 | 2,563 | 4,942 | 11,350 |
| 1994/95 | 4,006 | 3,774 | 5,852 | 13,632 |
| 1995/96 | 4,060 | 3,617 | 6,147 | 13,824 |
(b) There is no requirement for Humanitarian Program entrants to be sponsored by family members in the manner in which applicants for certain Migration Program visas are sponsored. Persons who seek to assist family members or other people to enter Australia under the Special Humanitarian Program or the Special Assistance Categories of the Humanitarian Program need to lodge a proposal under the Special Humanitarian Program or make an offer of support under the Special Assistance Category.
However, neither of these constitute a sponsorship as defined in the Migration Regulations. Statistics are not kept on the relationship between the proposer and the entrant.
(c) Nil.
(d) Proposers under the Special Humanitarian Program are not obligated to provide settlement assistance to the person proposed. The offer of support under the Special Assistance Category requires the proposer to provide a written undertaking that specifies assistance with regard to:
food, clothing, accommodation and household goods;
personal support;
access to community and public services;
obtaining employment;
language interpretation and securing English language instruction;
community involvement and self-reliance;
reimbursing the Commonwealth for its costs (if any) in providing accommodation services to the applicant.
Statistics are not kept on the extent to which proposers provide assistance to Special Assistance Category entrants.
