Migration Spokesperson Network

Connecting you with diverse talent

We can connect you with members of the Migration Spokesperson Network who are available to do media on a range of topics. Spokespeople are experts with direct experience and expertise of migration issues - from visa processing times, refugee rights, workplace exploitation, economic policies, and more. The Network includes a combination of policy experts and people with lived experience of living on temporary visas, seeking asylum, international students, and migrant workers.
