Next steps The Commission will continue to work collaboratively to develop a central reference point for anti-racism action by governments, business, community, and all sectors of society. The Commission intends to facilitate further development of a framework drawing on the groundwork provided by these findings, with the aim of securing formal commitment from governments to implementing a national anti-racism framework. This process will continue to take a human-rights approach, with cultural safety and accessibility as key priorities to ensure future development of a framework is available to all. One suggested approach to establishing a central reference point includes a further, comprehensive consultation process with the community (overseen by an advisory group chaired by the Commission) that culminates in a summit attended by key representative bodies. Delegates would agree to strong commitments, roles, and responsibilities on anti-racism action, particularly for all levels of government at the conclusion of the summit. Ultimately, a strong framework would be one that reflects a coordinated, shared vision to meaningfully tackle racism, promote racial equality, ensure access to rights, and foster a cohesive sense of belonging for all Australians.
