Aboriginal rights
We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as our First Peoples and uphold your culture, history, diversity and deep connection to the land. We recognise the harm caused by race discrimination and vilification. It is against the law to treat you unfairly or bully you because you are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. In Victoria our First Nations peoples also have special cultural rights under the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities.
