Submissions guide for the Royal Commission

Who can make a submission?

In her opening statement, Commissioner Virginia Bell stressed that she is interested in hearing from Jewish Australians who have experienced antisemitism, whether at school, university, the workplace or elsewhere.

Anyone who has experienced or witnessed antisemitic conduct, or has views on antisemitism and social cohesion in Australia, may make a submission – regardless of whether you are Jewish, from another community, an organisation, a friend or an observer. Submissions can express personal experiences, community-wide concerns, or professional and organisational insights.

The vast majority of people who make submissions will not be called upon to give evidence and a person who does not wish to give evidence will not be compelled to do so.
