First Nauru refugees set for Cambodia

Up to 10 refugees in Nauru could be resettled in Cambodia next week under a deal Australia has negotiated with Phnom Penh.

A charter flight has been scheduled for Monday, with the first group offered cash in hand once they arrive, the ABC reported on Thursday.

The $40 million resettlement agreement stipulates refugees will only be sent on a voluntary basis, with the number of refugees to be determined by Cambodia.

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton's office would not confirm the arrangements.

His spokesman said it was anticipated the first group of volunteers would depart for Cambodia in the "near future".
