Education is one of HREOC’s main roles. Our education program aims to explain how human rights and responsibilities apply to our everyday lives.
We provide resources and information to:
• Teachers
• Students
• Media
• Legal services
• Business groups
Our resources explain what human rights are, where they come from and how they are protected in international and Australian law. Most importantly they encourage people to explore the relevance of human rights in their own communities.
Human Rights Explained provides background information on human rights law. For information on recent issues, refer to the Human Rights page.
HREOC also provides a range of specific education and training services, including:
