Research and Anti-Racism Survey

The Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission is conducting research into experiences of racial discrimination and vilification to better protect the community. The Commission is seeking your help to complete a short survey. The survey is available here, including a tailored version for First Nations people. The survey is translated into many languages and is for people of all ages and backgrounds who have experienced racism. It will take 15–20 minutes to complete.

 

National Reconciliation Week 2024 Theme

Reconciliation Australia has announced the National Reconciliation Week 2024 theme: Now More Than Ever.

 

This year's theme is a reminder to us all, that no matter what, the fight for justice, rights, and First Peoples’ self-determination will and must continue. Throughout Australia’s reconciliation journey there has been many obstacles and disappointments, but the movement has remained. When faced with challenges and division, we must look for further ways to re-engage and re-connect.

 

NAIDOC Theme Announced for 2024 

This year’s theme, chosen by the National NAIDOC Committee, is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud. The theme is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and identity. A call for the reclamation of narratives about the First Peoples of Australia.  NAIDOC Week (7-14 July 2024) celebrates and recognises the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. First Nations communities, registered businesses, schools and local governments are all encouraged to run an activity or event that directly relates to the 2024 NAIDOC theme.
