Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking fireside chat-style discussion on ‘The Aftermath of the Voice: Human Rights and First Nations Justice.’

This event, scheduled for Sunday, 10 December 2023, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, is part of a series of events organised across the state in celebration of Human Rights Day 2023.

Hosted by the Western Australian Activism and Leadership Committee (WA ALC) in partnership with the Human Rights Legal Group of Western Australia (HRLG WA), the event aims to bring together professionals in the Indigenous sector, the community, and other key stakeholders. This gathering aims to gain insights from the broader community to shape the First Nations law reform strategy for 2024.
