The Pulse is pleased to support Researchers for Asylum Seekers with their "Refugees' Australian Stories" project, launched during Refugee Week – 20-26 June 2010. The project aims to tell the stories of refugees who now live in Australia through multimedia.

Using images and the spoken and written word, Refugees’ Australian Stories tells the compelling stories of refugees from around the world who have made Australia their home. It aims to give a human face to public discussions of asylum seekers and refugees and hopes to show that they have been great co-workers, neighbours and friends to other Australians for many years and fears associated with them are unfounded.

The project provides a platform for recent and established refugees from many parts of the world to tell their “Australian” stories. These stories are reminders that most refugees go on to lead normal lives and contribute positively to our country.
