The Victorian Refugee Record (VRRR) is an awards program which recognises individuals of a refugee background for their outstanding work in the community. The VRRR has been held annually since 2004, and is organised by the Victorian Multicultural Commission. The VRRR also marks and celebrates Refugee Week (19-25 June 2011) – Australia’s peak annual activity to inform the public on refugee issues and to celebrate the positive contributions made by people of refugee background to Australian society.

This year 23 individuals were inducted to the VRRR. The recipients were recognised at a ceremony held at the Immigration Museum, hosted by Parliamentary Secretary for Health, Nick Wakeling, on behalf of the Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship, Nicholas Kotsiras.
