Starting over: the community group helping newly arrived refugees

SBS News In Depth - A podcast by SBS

For many refugees, starting life in a new country can be overwhelming but a supportive community can help navigate the many challenges.

Now there are calls to expand the program to make it easier for Australians to sponsor family members or refugees they already know.
