Family reunification is a critical aspect of refugee well-being, as separation can induce fear and isolation on families. Unfortunately, current bureaucratic systems often cause lengthy delays in the reunification process, leaving families separated for months to over a year. While the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) lacks specific provisions for family reunification, there are calls for amendments to expedite the process and ensure timely reunification. The recent case of Plaintiff M61/2010E v Commonwealth of Australia & Ors [2010] HCA 41; (2010) 243 CLR 319 brought attention to the issue of mandatory detention of asylum seekers and its impact on family reunification. This case highlights the importance of considering the well-being of refugees and the implications of immigration policies on family unity. Additionally, international conventions such as Article 10 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) emphasize the importance of family reunification for the well-being of individuals.
