The Community Refugee Integration and Settlement Pilot (CRISP) Snapshot Report 4 evaluates refugee settlement outcomes 10-12 months after arrival for participants who entered Australia between December 2022 and August 2023. Conducted by the Australian Institute of Family Studies, the evaluation employs a mixed-methods design comparing CRISP refugees with matched Humanitarian Settlement Support (HSP) refugees as a control group, using criteria including family type and country of origin. The report assesses key settlement outcomes across English language acquisition, social integration, economic integration, and self-sufficiency, alongside measuring the appropriateness of training and support provided by Community Settlement Groups (CSGs) to CRISP participants. Data collection occurred at two timepoints with surveys administered to CRISP refugees, matched HSP refugees, and CSG members, with qualitative methods complementing quantitative analysis to understand program implementation effectiveness and community capacity for refugee settlement support.
