Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: KH is the founder of Community-Minded Psychological Services, a private practice for people from immigrant, asylum seeking, and refugee backgrounds in Melbourne, Australia, which has received funding from the Australian government to provide psychological support to asylum seekers. GC is employed at the Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture (Foundation House), an organization that receives funding from the Australian government to provide psychological assistance to asylum seekers, including those in immigration detention. KH was previously employed by the Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture. GC has been contracted by the Australian government’s Department of Home Affairs to provide training in relation to the psychological aspects of refugee status determination. KH has been contracted by the Australian government’s Department of Home Affairs to conduct independent mental health assessments and write psychological reports for the purposes of refugee status determination for asylum seekers who have been detained in offshore detention. This research was conducted in their personal capacity, however, and the views expressed here are their own, and those of their coauthors. RB and GA declare that they have no conflicts of interest.
