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.
