Recommendations Australia should: (i) Implement a legislative statelessness determination procedure which is fair, effective, and accessible to all persons in Australia regardless of their legal status. This includes funded access to interpreting services and legal support; (ii) Introduce a dedicated visa category for all stateless persons, regardless of their mode of arrival in Australia, providing them with permanent protection and a pathway to naturalization; (iii) Expand the eligibility of Australian citizenship to all stateless persons in Australia, regardless as to whether they were born on Australian soil; and (iv) Develop a working group between government and legal service providers and other peak-body organisations (including stateless lead organisations) to regularly, constructively and productively meet and discuss issues impacting stateless people in Australia. 83
