Annual Report 2012-2013
Review the 2012-13 annual report showing how the Commission resolved complaints, drove law reform and built awareness of human rights across Australia.
Summary
The role of the Australian Human Rights Commission is to see that human rights and fundamental freedoms are understood and respected in law, policy and practice. The Commission is independent from government, with a legislative mandate, and recognised internationally as an ‘A Status’ National Human Rights Institution. We strive to resolve complaints, encourage positive law reform and build a shared awareness and recognition of freedoms and rights throughout Australia.
