On 22 February 2018, CPD convened the first meeting of the Council on Economic Participation for Refugees (the Council), hosted by the Boston Consulting Group in Melbourne.

The Council is the first pillar of CPD’s new Cities and Settlement Initiative (CSI).

The Council brings together key federal and state government officials with service providers, employers, international experts and the metropolitan and regional cities that are settling the most refugees. We are focused on building integrated service delivery to improve the economic participation of refugees.
