Quota Refugee Health Model

The Quota Refugee Health Model was introduced as a response to the increase in the number of quota refugees accepted into Aotearoa New Zealand from 1 July 2020. This e-learning module provides guidelines around the quota refugees’ entire health journey, before they arrive in New Zealand to resettlement in a local community.

The training module explains how the new Quota Refugee Health Model operates and how providers can work together in a streamlined and coordinated way to provide quota refugees with a smooth resettlement process.
