I remember the push for a Tasmanian Human Rights Act years ago when I first worked for Equal Opportunity Tasmania. Now in 2022, QLD, ACT and Vic have rights protections but Tasmanians are still waiting. A Human Rights Act will go a very long way to greater justice and fairer outcomes in health, housing, education, employment, and justice for all of us, I attended a rally on the 26th of November and was impressed with so many individual causes coming together to campaign for an Act that will benefit all Tasmanians. Let’s hope Parliament listens this time. To read more about why we need a HRA have a look here Alliance for a Tasmanian Human Rights Act | Facebook

This year included more virtual training, more specialised content, a more diverse range of clients and industries, and more interstate travel (I’m actually writing this at the airport while waiting for my final trip away for the year). With the landmark Anti-Discrimination and Human Rights Legislation Amendment (Respect @ Work) Bill 2022 being passed and more pressure on organisations to demonstrate positive duty and protect their staff, I expect the influx of enquiries and bookings to continue.
