Asylum seeker right to work is a complex issue. A review of the policy is ongoing, and we are considering the evidence put forward on the issue. The findings of the review will be announced once the work has been completed.
Officials have been in contact as necessary with Asylum Matters and Refugee Action in respect of asylum seeker right to work policy.
