Available data and gaps
The majority of reports on the health of refugees and humanitarian entrants in Australia use data from the Building a New Life in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Humanitarian Migrants (BNLA) and research studies. Information on the full spectrum of health issues faced by humanitarian entrants is not available, and due to the nature of academic studies which tend to focus on case studies of sub-groups, the available data is often difficult to draw accurate conclusions on a population level (Dowling et al. 2019).
