Australian Human Rights Commission Annual Report November 2022 We will also continue to work with the Government to ensure that the institutional integrity issues facing the Commission are fully addressed. Parliament is currently considering a bill to amend the selection and appointment process of Commissioners. The Government has also committed to developing supporting guidance materials that will further enhance these reforms, and to conduct all future appointments through publicly advertised, merit-based selection processes. There will be three such appointments due before the SCA reconsiders the Commission’s ‘A status’ in October 2023. All of this points to 2022–23 being a significant period of renewal for the Commission, with our eyes remaining firmly on our mandate of protecting and promoting the human rights of all in Australia. Emeritus Professor Rosalind Croucher AM President 23
