Moreland (Coburg): Have your say on how to
improve Victoria’s Charter of Human Rights
The Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (the Charter) protects
20 rights and freedoms of all people in Victoria.
It requires state and local government authorities to respect and promote human rights
when they serve the community.
The Attorney-General, the Hon Martin Pakula MP, has appointed Michael Brett Young to
conduct an independent review of the Charter and report back to the Government by
1 September 2015. The aim of the review is to see how the Charter could be improved and
whether it meets the needs of all Victorian communities.
We’re interested in hearing your views on:

The human rights issues important to you and your local community

The relevance of the Charter in your day to day life

How state and local governments can get better at human rights

How the Charter could work better for you and your community

How to get Victorians interested in human rights and the Charter
