​The Community Refugee Integration and Settlement Pilot (CRISP) is delivering strong settlement outcomes as it marks its first year of operation, with all refugee participants reporting they feel welcomed in their local communities. CRISP is trialling an alternative approach to the settlement of refugees, by providing opportunities for community members to welcome refugees into Australia by directly supporting their settlement and integration. Through CRISP, refugees receive settlement support directly from trained volunteers, for their first 12 months living in Australia.
