ATCOSS Information Forum

Spreading the word for ATCOSS:

The ACT Human Rights Act: What do recent changes mean for ACT Community
Organisations?

In 2009 amendments made to the ACT Human Rights Act come into effect, that
specify that “public authorities” must act in a way that is compatible with
and gives proper consideration to human rights. There is a right to bring a
complaint against public authorities if they fail to do so.

ACTCOSS is co-ordinating an information forum for ACT community
organisations on these changes to the ACT Human Rights Act, and what they
may mean for community organisations.

The ACT Human Rights Commission will provide an overview of the changes, and
other speakers will deliver information about possible impacts on your
organisation.

Where: Room 6, Griffin Centre, Genge St Canberra City
When: Tuesday, 17 February 2009
Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm

Light refreshments will be provided.

Please RSVP to Brooke McKail on 6202 7222 or brooke.mckail@actcoss.org.au
