Abstract

The phrase social exclusion came to Australia via Britain. Discussion on ‘inclusion and exclusion' mainly focus on those individuals and groups living in poverty. Socially excluded occurs as a result of many factors, based on sex, race, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, and disability. Until 2012 people with a disability were excluded from Australian' resettlement programs representing a significant discrimination concern. As a result of strong opposition to this issue, the policy changed in 2012 and the number of refugees with disabilities increased. This in turn led to more ethnic diversity of people with disabilities within NDIS. However, since NDIS has not been able to provide adequate services to these populations, refugees with a disability continue to be excluded. This paper advocates inclusion continuation of refugees with a disability based on their rights to live a life of inclusion and dignity. These people have been facing double discriminations that requires Government attention to remove existing barriers.
