A new mobile phone app to confront Australians' attitudes to racism has been developed by a national anti-racism charity.

The app, named Everyday Racism challenges players to live a week in the life of an Aboriginal man, a Muslim woman or an Indian student.

Various scenarios based on evidence are provided and players must decide how to respond to the situations in the most effective way.

Priscilla Brice is the Managing Director of the charity group behind the app - All Together Now.

Ms Brice told Zara Zaher while anti-racism apps exist overseas, this is the first to combat the issue in Australia.
