Hanna and her son are among the 8,000-odd Ukrainians who have been granted temporary humanitarian visas to Australia.

The Department of Home Affairs says more than 3,200 people from Ukraine had arrived in the country by the end of May. The visas allow a three-year stay and permit holders to work, study and access Medicare.

"The biggest challenge is when you talk to people in another language. Everything else I can't say is very difficult. Melbourne has very nice people who help you with everything," Hanna says.
