Factsheets
We’ve developed factsheets to provide a simple and clear way to describe why we need an Australian Human Rights Act or Charter.
They use practical examples of how those rights have helped people using the state based Human Rights Acts in Queensland, Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory, and why we need a national Human Rights Act.
Click on these links or the images below to read the factsheet.
Content warning: some factsheets refer to topics of abuse and maltreatment.
How a Human Rights Act benefits everyone
