Australian Human Rights Commission
Annual Report November 2022
“The proposed National Anti-Racism
Framework (the Framework) represents the
types of initiatives that will bring about a
proactive commitment to challenging
systemic racism and fostering trust and
cohesion in our communities”
Submission from Australian Multicultural
Foundation, NARF Project,
A Conversation and Consultation
Guide was made available to
organisations who wished to host their
own consultations. At least five
organisations used the guide to
consult their networks and the
community members they work with.
Others utilised this Guide to inform
their submission.
The Commission invited public
submissions from October 2021
through February 2022. To support
this process a submissions guide was released, outlining feedback received
through the consultation process to date, and invited further feedback including
via in-language submissions, and submissions in any format. To encourage broad
access and participation social media messaging calling for submissions was
promoted in the top 20 languages and an Easy-read guide to submissions was
made available. The Commission received strong feedback from members of the
Project’s Multicultural Advisory Group that this aided in making the process more
accessible to communities with less English language proficiency.
Supporting website content was also made available for the project and
submissions process. The Commission received 171 submissions. This included
approximately 60 submissions from individuals.
