Protecting cultural rights in Victoria.
\nIn Victoria, cultural rights are an integral part of the fabric of society, enshrined in the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006. These rights safeguard the freedom of people and communities to express, practice, and develop their cultural identities, fostering a vibrant and inclusive society.

\nAre you aware that the recently established Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission is now operational? Did you also know that Victoria has a new Mental Health Act (the Act)?
\nTo do now
\nThe Act came into effect on 1 September this year and supports changes underway to create a diverse, responsive and compassionate mental health and wellbeing system for all Victorians. If you are a consumer, carer or supporter accessing a publicly funded mental health and wellbeing service in Victoria, you may want to familiarise yourself with the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act.
\nTo do this week
\nUnderstanding the Act helps individuals know their rights and principles within Victoria’s mental health and wellbeing system, ensuring they are treated with dignity and respect and empowers them to actively participate in decision-making processes related to treatment and care. Below are some resources to help you:
\nAnd finally, exercise your right to complain. If you feel that your rights, or the rights of someone you care for, have not been upheld while receiving mental health and wellbeing assessment or treatment. You can contact the MHWC on 1800 246 054, email help@mhwc.vic.gov.au, or go to our complaints page.

\nEducation is a human right, yet our recently released inquiry, Let us learn, found that children and young people in state care in Victoria substantially trail behind their peers on key indicators of educational progress. They are more likely to be absent from school and be suspended or expelled and less likely to participate in NAPLAN or progress to year 12.
\nThese outcomes vary by care type, with residential care the most concerning. Further, Aboriginal children fare worse than their non-Aboriginal peers.
\nWe found that stigma, low expectations and racism remain prevalent in education settings, and that child protection and schools do not always collaborate effectively to support children and young people in care in their education.
\nWe made 40 findings and 47 recommendations about how this could be addressed by improving support and collaboration, including through whole school trauma approaches. We also called for policies that explicitly deal with racism in education settings.
\nIf you’d like to help the Commission for Children and Young People realise education as a human right for all children and young people, and those in care, there are some simple actions you can take in Human Rights Week, or anytime.
\nTo do now (5 minutes)
\nPost this message to social media.
\nEducation is a human right, but the Let us learn inquiry shows Victoria’s children in state care are missing out. To find out more, watch the video or read the report at our website #HRWVic2023 #LetUsLearn

\nVictoria’s Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities (the Charter) protects the cultural rights of First Nations people in Victoria. It acknowledges the special importance of human rights for First Nations peoples, with diverse spiritual, social and cultural and economic relationships with their traditional lands and waters.
\nThe Charter is about the relationship between government and the people it serves – it protects the fundamental rights of all Victorians and requires Victoria’s public authorities, parliament, and courts and tribunals to respect human rights.
\nFirst Nations people can raise their cultural rights at any time when accessing public services or when the government is making a decision that affects them, their family, kin or community.

Supporting First Nations people to report discrimination
\nNo one should have to face discrimination – and if they do experience it, they shouldn’t have to deal with it alone. For International Human Rights Day (10 December), we are seeking your help launch our new digital and print campaign for First Nations communities, ‘What happened to you matters’.
\nPeople who have experienced discrimination, sexual harassment, victimisation or vilification can make a complaint to the Commission and we’ll attempt to resolve it through our free, culturally responsive conciliation process – an informal, flexible approach to finding an outcome to a complaint. Our staff are trained to support First Nations complainants and ensure the process is safe and supportive.
\nThe campaign messages focus strongly on the value of support and allyship. We know that making a complaint can be a daunting process, so the campaign encourages people to share what happened to them with a family member, friend or supporter, and then to make a complaint together.
\nTo do now (5 mins)
\nSupport the First Nations campaign by sharing our social media tiles on your social media channels and letting your network know they don’t have to face discrimination alone.
