The Race Discrimination Commissioner is undertaking a project to listen to and share the stories of Australian Muslims. He is holding national consultations with members of the Australian Muslim community about their needs and experiences of discrimination, Islamophobia and hate speech and their right to safely practice their religion.
The project is an opportunity to identify community strengths, concerns and priorities and hear from the community about ideas for change.
The national face-to-face consultations are supported by a national online survey of Australian Muslims aimed at collecting data about Islamophobia, racism and related intolerances. Complete the survey to share your experience as an Australian Muslim:
The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and all responses are anonymous and confidential. It will remain open until 26 August 2019 and is available in Arabic, Dari, English and Urdu. More information can be found on the project page on the Commission’s website.
