Katie Kiss, the new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner of the Australian Human Rights Commission, is inviting First Nations people to help inform the agenda of her five-year term.

This is your chance to tell Katie what matters most for our Noongar community.

You can make a written submission which closes 16 September 2024 or complete an online survey which closes 23 September 2024.

Katie will also hold face-to-face and online sessions with dates and locations to be confirmed.

The Commission is inviting the submissions to contribute to the “Informing the Agenda” Project.

The Project seeks to collate and communicate the perspectives of First Nations Peoples across Australia on the key issues affecting their lives, and to ensure First Nations voices are elevated in national conversations relevant to the fulfilment of their human rights.

It will also provide an opportunity for stakeholders to provide input into key focus areas that:

* promote better engagement with First Nations Peoples
* create the conditions for better outcomes
* progress a reframed relationship between First Nations and the broader Australian community.

The Project will invite participation in four different formats to “Inform the Agenda”. This includes:

* Face-to-Face and online engagements (yet to be confirmed)
* Written submission (open on 1st August 2024 and close on 16th September 2024)
* Online survey (open on 1st August 2024 and close on 23rd September 2024)

Submissions will close on 16th of September 2024.

Submissions received will complement input provided through public consultations, online engagements and an online survey. The survey will be open on 1st August 2024 and close on the 23rd September 2024.
