The United Nations Special Rapporteur

UN investigator to assess Australia's migration policies

Australia has been under fire for its offshore processing programme for asylum seekers on Nauru and PNG's Manus Island.

Mr Crepeau said it's an opportunity to understand how Australia manages its overall migration policies, and their impact on the human rights of migrants.

He will meet government officials, civil society, unions, various agencies and the migrants themselves.

He will also visit the centers on Nauru.
