RESEARCH
The Centre for Settlement Innovation has commissioned a report to explore the relevance of self-efficacy in supporting positive settlement outcomes for refugees resettling in Australia. Relatively little analysis has been undertaken in relation to self-efficacy and its effect on settlement outcomes and subsequently, self-efficacy is not well understood as a mechanism that may be enhanced to benefit refugees and the Australian community.
