Victoria’s charter of human rights and responsibilities

Victoria’s Charter of Rights came into full effect in 2008 and protects 20 human rights.

Over the years the Human Rights Law Centre has produced a number of resources about Victoria’s Charter of Human Rights including guides about using the Charter in advocacy work. There are other resources, including from the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission and Victorian Ombudsman.

In addition, the Victorian Charter was reviewed 4 years and 8 years after it came into effect. You can read the 2015 report that made recommendations to improve the Charter as well as the Victorian Government response to the report recommendations.
