Our panel for this session (recorded on 13 March 2024) features speakers from Caxton Legal Centre, Tenants Queensland, ADA Law from ADA Australia, and the Youth Advocacy Centre.
Legal and non-legal community sector professionals have a pivotal role to play in assisting the community to engage their rights under the Human Rights Act. Frontline organisations will often be the first to recognise when a person’s rights have been limited, and the Human Rights Act is a powerful mechanism for advocacy in any setting.
The Human Rights Act can also be engaged to underscore broader advocacy activities in the community sector, informing important law reform and policy consultation processes; ensuring rights-respecting progress on systemic issues; and shaping community sector campaigns.
In using the Human Rights act in advocacy, we will increase the human rights literacy and capability of the sector more broadly, contributing to a more rights-respecting culture.
