Facilitating Domains and SETs Activities

To articulate Australia’s vision of successful settlement and integration in the Australian context, the Department has developed the Refugee and Humanitarian Entrant Settlement and Integration Outcomes Framework​ (the Framework).

The Framework builds on the strong foundation of Australia’s world-class settlement services. It will help to:

  • improve our settlement services

  • enhance positive settlement outcomes for refugees and humanitarian entrants

  • guide government agencies delivering settlement services from planning through to programs and evaluation.

The Framework comprises eleven interrelated domains and two underpinning principles. These outline a structured approach to good settlement and integration outcomes.

Each domain and principle reflects an area critical to successful settlement and integration.

Table with two columns labeled 'Domains' and 'Principles'. Domains include Language and Digital Literacy, Understanding Host Culture, Economic Participation, Health and Wellbeing, Housing and Transport, Education, Social Connections, Community Welcome, Access to Institutions, Belonging, Safety and Security. Principles column is empty.

Over time, the Framework will include outcomes and indicators to support the delivery of coherent and coordinated services across the broader settlement space. It will also establish a means of measuring progress against each domain.

The key focus for SETS providers is to build self-agency and self-efficacy in SETS participants. SETS aims to support participants to achieve outcomes that align with these domains. SETS is a flexible program, with services tailored to need.
