The Commission partnered with some organisations, departments, and agencies to facilitate ten national community consultations. Participants were invited to register for an online consultation as an individual or on behalf of an organisation. Consultations were unpaid and required roughly 1.5 hours of a participant’s time. Community consultation questions included why participants believe racism needs to be addressed in Australia, how racism could be addressed, what difficulties arise in addressing racism, what they would like to see included in a national anti-racism framework, and what an inclusive and equal society looked like to them. Cultural safety and a trauma-informed approach were a priority throughout the consultation process and particularly in the community consultations. Details on the consultation aims were provided prior to the session and consent was sought from participants. The confidential nature of experiences and priorities shared amongst the group were reinforced ahead of time, and privacy information was provided. Safety information was provided prior to and at the start of the session, and a facilitator or representative from a partner community/peak organisation or agency was nominated as a support person. Advice from partner organisations led to the inclusion of content providing information on the Australian Human Rights Commission, its work, and complaints processes in support of this. A safety protocol was implemented for consultation facilitators. National Anti-Racism Framework Scoping Report 2022 | 33
