Annual Report 2011–2012 Members of the Advisory Council of Jurists. Photograph James Iliffe. To progressively implement the recommendations of the ACJ reports the APF works with its member institutions. During the reporting period the APF assisted the NHRIs of Australia, Mongolia and New Zealand with the practical implementation of programs to build their knowledge of and awareness around human rights in relation to SOGI. These three institutions reported complete implementation of the relevant recommendations, indicating the success of the APF’s efforts. Australian Human Rights Commission The Australian Human Rights Commission held national consultations regarding the possible inclusion of protections against discrimination on the basis of SOGI in federal anti-discrimination law. Background papers were produced to provide information on the extent of discrimination experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) peoples and a description of existing legal protections from such discrimination. A research paper was produced and it described the existing state and territory protections from discrimination on the basis of SOGI.
