Submission in response to inquiry into the potential for a Human’s Rights Act in South Australia 

23/02/24

Uniting Communities welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission to the Social Development Committee on the potential for a Human Rights Act in South Australia.

We understand the importance of consulting directly with the community about these issues, especially those that may be impacted by any legislation and those organisations that provide support to those impacted.

We believe a Human Rights Act should be implemented in South Australia because everyone should be treated equitably regardless of their age, gender, cultural background, political beliefs, religion, or other characteristics.

We recognise that there is currently a lack of accountability when it comes to Australia’s international human rights agreement obligations. We believe that any South Australian-based Human Rights Act should be as tangible and practical as possible.
