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.

If you are interested in speaking to any of the Spokespeople below, please reach out to:
