A practical guide on how to avoid and protect yourself if you experience racism and discrimination in Australia.


Key Points
  • Under Australia’s anti-discrimination laws, racial discrimination is prohibited in workplaces, schools, housing, services, and public spaces, yet many migrants still experience it in everyday life.
  • Practical steps to respond and protect yourself. Keeping detailed records of dates, times, locations, statements, witnesses, screenshots, or CCTV, is vital for any complaint.
  • Addressing racism is a shared responsibility.Reporting incidents and holding institutions accountable contribute to building a safer and more just multicultural Australia.
