No work, no income, no Medicare: the bridging visa E regime
journal contribution
posted on 2017-05-05, 04:25 authored by Markus, Andrew, Taylor, JessieA number of asylum seekers in Australia who are living in the community and do not meet certain criteria specified by the Government are given a Bridging Visa E (BE) while their cases are reviewed. The BVE denies them the right to work or to access education, health services or welfare. They are therefore dependent on friends, family or non-Government organisations, sometimes for considerable periods.
