Australian Human Rights Commission Annual Report 2021–22 3.5 Location The office of the Australian Human Rights Commission is located in Sydney, with three Commissioners having their home bases in Melbourne, one in Canberra, and one in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The Australian Human Rights Commission conducts its activities nationally – including by maintaining a National Information Service, and conducting consultations, meetings, and events across Australia. 3.6 Achieving a National Reach Being a small entity with limited resources creates challenges in ensuring national coverage of our work and engaging with communities in rural, regional, and remote areas. In this reporting period, the Commission has had engagements in across states and territory. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has limited our ability to conduct engagements ‘in person’, especially due to state and territory border closures and lockdowns. This has resulted in more online training, speeches and other engagements than usual. Our focus on ensuring a national reach with our work will continue, with an emphasis on ensuring that the increased reliance on digital technologies does not impact negatively on the reach and quality of access of vulnerable and marginalised groups across Australia to our work. 16
