Resources
Victoria’s rich cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths. Regardless of where you’re from, what you look like, what you believe or what language you speak, no one should have to endure racism in the place they call home. We have created this hub as a one-stop shop to help people understand and combat racism.
This section provides an overview of our resources to report racism.
We have designed a number of resources to help you or your community understand your rights, report racism or make a complaint.
Race Discrimination in the Workplace Gudieline
The Guideline: Race discrimination in the workplace provides information on your rights and responsibilities regarding race discrimination in the workplace under the Equal Opportunity Act 2010.

Information and audio translations
We know that there can be language barriers for those who may be most at risk of racism receiving information about their rights and how to get help.
To overcome this, we have partnered with the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council to produce 24 in-language “How to Report Racism” audio files.
Each audio file describes what racism is, and provides information on how, and why, to report racism and access assistance from the Commission.
Stakeholder Kit - There's no place for racism in Victoria
We have developed a social media stakeholder kit about racism in Victoria. The kit includes sample social media, website and newsletter content you can use to help community understand their rights and how they can make a complaint about racism or other discrimination.
Know your rights in employment - information for Muslim employees
We have developed a fact sheet for Muslim workers on their rights in employment. Everyone has the right to be treated equally and without discrimination. In Victoria, equal opportunity and vilification laws protect your rights. These laws make discrimination, sexual harassment, victimisation, and racial and religious vilification against the law.

A guide for employers working with Muslim employees
We have developed a guide to provide employers with tips and things to think about when working with Muslim employees. It explains some common cultural practices among Muslims. Employers have a responsibility to make sure that workers are treated fairly and with respect. Sometimes this may mean they need to be flexible to accommodate people of different cultural backgrounds and beliefs.

The Anti Racism Race
To encourage increased reporting of racism, the Commission has collaborated with Cinespace, a non-profit screen industry association supporting people from First Nations and culturally diverse and under-represented communities across Victoria to create a short film.
Set in a satirical Anti-Racism game show, characters from different walks of life compete in a series of rounds on their knowledge of racism to be the most Anti-Racist person. Light-hearted with tongue-firmly-in-cheek, the film is a blend of the game show-meets-reality TV show format, where the characters are invited to share their dismay and feelings in interviews throughout the progress of the game.
