NGOs have not observed any form of preference given to particular nationalities. In practice, however, the new work policy introduced in May 2021, whereby asylum seekers coming from listed safe countries of origin can only access work 9 months after they apply for asylum, coupled with the eviction policy of AWAS at 6 months seriously puts these asylum seekers at risk of destitution and poverty (see Access to labour market).
