UN Rapporteur 2026 Visit Submission

This submission responds to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Call for Input ahead of the proposed country visit to Australia in 2026. It examines the ongoing impacts of the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and the unfinished business of the Bringing them Home report and its recommendations. We call for urgent action to embed UNDRIP in law, policy, and service delivery, to ensure survivors, their families, and communities are supported to heal with dignity, justice, and self-determination.
