Shared Truths
Victorians have shared their truths on the impacts of colonisation on First Peoples. Now we invite you to listen and learn.
About Yoorrook
The Yoorrook Justice Commission is the first formal truth-telling process into historical and ongoing injustices experienced by First Peoples in Victoria.
Yoorrook was set up by agreement between the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria and the Victorian Government, but operates independently of both.
Yoorrook delivered an interim report in June 2022, a critical issues report in August 2023, and will deliver a final report in 2025.
Yoorrook is led by five Commissioners, of whom 4 are Aboriginal and 3 are Victorian First Peoples. The Commissioners bring a vast range of knowledge and experience about First Peoples’ knowledge, systemic disadvantage, land rights, history, law, trauma and healing.
