2026 Australia: A Year for Indigenous Peoples Rights a Webinar

Your Special Invite to 2026 Australia: A Year for Indigenous Peoples Rights  Webinar

The Foundation for Aboriginal and Islander Research Action (FAIRA) warmly invites you to join us in a webinar exploring Australia’s human rights performance.

First Nations (Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander) peoples of Australia have experienced a decline in their status and wellbeing as individuals and as Peoples. The absence of representative Indigenous Peoples leadership at the national level has led to a recent upgrowth of unacceptable racist policies and practices throughout political and judicial systems in Australia.

On 26 January 2026 Australia is to appear before a working group of the UN Human Rights Council to hear UN Member States consider Australia’s human rights performance during recent years, and present recommendations for action in the immediate future. These recommendations can be monitored for compliance and we urge closer attention to the efforts of parliaments to meet their international obligations.

Join our panel of experts in a discussion about reviewing Australia’s efforts to promote and protect the rights of the Indigenous Peoples. Learn more about the periodic review of Australia’s human rights performance and how to observe the review of Australia.

Speakers :

Commissioner Katie Kiss, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner

Les Malezer, Chairperson FAIRA

Blake Alan Cansdale, National Director, ANTAR

When: AEST 4pm Tuesday, 20 January 2026
