Step into a Conversation That Matters

Across Oceania, from Australia and New Zealand to the Pacific Islands, refugees and migrants continue to face uncertainty, fragmented support, and increasingly restrictive pathways to safety. Churches, Christian schools, and frontline ministries have carried the weight of care with faithfulness, yet the challenges grow more complex every year.

In this moment, one question rises above the noise: Who is my neighbour?

RHP Oceania invites you to a day of deep listening, shared wisdom, and collective action at the Oceania Refugee and Migrants Forum 2026. This gathering is designed to strengthen regional collaboration, amplify the voices of refugees and responders, and equip ministries to act with compassion, clarity, and courage.

  • Church networks and Christian schools

  • Refugee and migrant congregations

  • Ground our work in a biblical vision of hospitality, justice, and neighbour‑love.
