Refugee visas are designed for people who need protection. These visas offer a new home to those facing significant discrimination or harm in their own countries. Subclasses 200, 201, 203, and 204 each serve specific groups, from those subject to persecution (subclass 200) to women at risk (subclass 204). These visas provide a pathway to a safer life in Australia, ensuring holders can live, work, and study, bringing immediate family members under the same application.
