What is SA Refugee Week?

Celebrating the contributions and achievements of people from refugee and migrant backgrounds.

SA Refugee Week is one of South Australia’s best recognised annual community celebrations. Throughout June there will be an array of exhibitions, cultural events, forums and community days that celebrate the achievements of refugees and their contribution to South Australia, while also raising awareness around the refugee experiences worldwide.

Each year over 50 events involving over 140 diverse community groups, organisations, schools and councils are presented and attended by over 20,000 people showcasing the refugee and migrant cultures and experiences in SA. These events are held across South Australia.  As the Convenors of SA Refugee Week, AMRC is guided by the voices of those with lived experiences. We are pleased to be assisted by Multicultural SA to continue the ongoing development and presentation of SA Refugee Week in 2025.

Finding Freedom: Diversity in Community is the theme for this year. In 2025, the theme Finding Freedom will focus on Community and explores the important role community bonds play in refugees’ lives.

The SA Refugee Week Committee coordinates the Calendar of Events as well as the official Launch of SA Refugee Week, World Refugee Day and Youth Poster Awards Exhibition.
