On Thursday 24 March Victorians witnessed the official launch of the Yoorrook Justice Commission hearings. Marking the beginning of the first ever truth-telling process in Australia.
The Commission will investigate both the historical and contemporary injustices committed against First Peoples since colonisation. The beginning of this crucial truth-telling process is a significant step towards Treaty and reconciliation.
The Yoo-rrook Justice Commission will deliver its interim report in June. You can watch the livestream of the Commission launch (and a ceremonial hearing).

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Victoria, and recognise First Peoples continuing connection to lands, waters and community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present who carry the memories, traditions, cultures and aspirations of First Peoples, and who forge the path ahead for emerging leaders.
We dedicate ourselves to working respectfully with and guided by First Peoples, and to listen and amplify the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in all areas of work
