The guide is a comprehensive, easy-to-use resource for refugees, legal professionals and community organisation volunteers. The guide is widely used by refugees and those acting on their behalf. RAILS originally produced this Guide in 2011 but the recent changes to refugee family reunion that emerged from the Report of the Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers in 2012 meant that the guide required updating.

The book was launched by Hon Shayne Neumann MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Attorney-General.

The Refugee and Immigration Legal Service (RAILS) is a Queensland-based, independent community legal service which provides free legal advice, assistance and, representation and community education to disadvantaged migrants, refugees and other disadvantaged people.
