Statement on Health of People Seeking Asylum
ACEM supports the humane and dignified treatment of all refugees and asylum seekers, regardless of how they arrive. It considers offshore and regional processing centres as detrimental to health, particularly mental health. ACEM opposes mandatory detention, especially of children, and calls for an end to offshore detention.
