Charters of Human Rights


Our vision
: An Australia where everyone, no matter who they are or where they are, understands their rights, has them properly protected in our laws and has the power to take action to ensure they are upheld

Our focus


 
  • We increase public understanding of human rights and grow support for protecting our rights in law. We develop and use campaigning and communications tools and advocacy to achieve this goal.

  • We support local efforts to strengthen existing Charters in Victoria, Queensland and the ACT and to secure Charters in states and territories that don’t yet have them.
