Client Support Services: Research has shown that GARs are reluctant to access services in the community due to a number of challenges, such as language barriers, different cultural perceptions, inflexibility of services offered, and financial restraints. Mandated to identify gaps in settlement and broader-based services in the community, BASIC assists Government Assisted Refugees to overcome obstacles associated with settlement and integration.
