In 2021, I established the Stateless Legal Clinic at the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness (PMCS) at the Melbourne Law School. As Australia’s first and only legal service dedicated exclusively to assisting stateless children, the Clinic was founded with the Refugee Advice Casework Service (RACS) and operates within the Melbourne Law School Clinics program at the University of Melbourne. The Clinic’s establishment stemmed from my legal experience assisting stateless refugee children detained in Australia’s immigration detention centres, coupled with targeted research, in which my colleague Sarah Dale (Centre Manager and Principal Lawyer at RACS) and I identified that:  Stateless children often don’t know about their rights in Australia, most notably their entitlement to apply for Australian citizenship (if, when granted, means they are no longer stateless); and  There was a critical lack of legal education and assistance for stateless children in Australia to support them in accessing citizenship.iv Little is understood about statelessness in Australia. As the only dedicated legal service for stateless children domestically, I was keen to learn and connect with similar services internationally as well as meet with organisations leading advocacy and reform on this critical human rights issue. My aim was to understand how legal services for stateless children can be enhanced and expanded in Australia, and how we may effectively advocate for improved protections for stateless children and their families, including through centring and championing the voices of stateless people themselves. My Fellowship allowed me to visit a range of legal services, education providers and expert organisations around the world that are working to improve legal education and aid for stateless children (and adults), including in Switzerland, England, Italy and the United States of America. 9
