Advisory groups

The BNLA study team worked with 2 advisory groups before wave 1 to ensure the design of the study would:

• help build an evidence base to inform policies and programs
• meet the needs of humanitarian migrants, host communities and government priorities.

The Survey Reference Group included Australian Government officials and external stakeholders who contributed to the study’s:

• data collection
• methodology
• content
• approach.

The Technical Advisory Group included experts in refugee resettlement and longitudinal survey methods and analysis.

In subsequent waves, the 2 advisory groups were consolidated into one Advisory Group that met between waves to discuss study content and approach.
