On International Human Rights Day, Friday 10 December 2021, a group of 36 expert delegates, nominated by Rights Resource Network SA members, met to consider how to design a Human Rights Framework for South Australia.

Expert Delegates included representatives from all three South Australian Universities, senior members of the South Australian medical and legal profession, senior officers from SACOSS, Shelter SA, Aged Rights, YACSA, LELAN, Civil Liberties Australia and the Working Women’s Centre. Observers from political parties and other peak representative bodies were also in attendance.

The key outcome of the Workshop was the agreement among delegates that: South Australia needs a Human Rights Framework, including a Human Rights Act, to secure the dignity and equality of all South Australians and to facilitate our active participation in the democratic life of our State.
