Declarations
:
: We received ethics approval from the La Trobe University Human Research Ethics Committee (HEC20260) for the research data to be used in a Master of Philosophy, and, earlier, for the research to be conducted (HEC18074).Interview participants provided informed verbal consent to participate, in accordance with ethical approval granted for the project. Verbal consent was preferred to written consent as some participants, particularly in the Mildura Pacific community, were likely to be wary of filling in a form that revealed their identity. Using verbal consent for all participants ensured there was no differentiation in the way legal and undocumented migrants were treated in the research process. We received approval from the ethics committee for this approach (HEC 18074). Where we conducted participant observation in public spaces we advised people in proximity to us that we were conducting research and did not document any identifying information.
