Proving that you are a refugee is often very difficult. The test for refugee status is future-focused. This means that whether you face a real chance or risk of harm will be assessed at the time the Department of Home Affairs is looking at your case, not just by reference to what has happened to you previously. Even though you may have suffered a gross violation of your human rights in the past, you will need to show that you will still be at risk of further serious or significant harm in the future if you return to your country of origin.
