Three non-Indigenous witnesses are set to give evidence to Victoria’s truth telling process this week. This includes two descendants of early colonial figures who will reflect on their families’ involvement in key events in Victoria’s colonial history, which had a devastating effect on First Peoples.

Victoria’s truth telling body has condemned the Victorian Government’s decision to break its commitment to raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 14.

Yoorrook has expressed concern at new data revealing an increase in the rate of Aboriginal children living in out-of-home care in Victoria – which was already the worst performing state in the nation.

Yoorrook is urging all Victorians to make a submission to the state’s historic truth telling process before the deadline on November 22.

The Yoorrook Justice Commission is concerned by media reports regarding alleged government failures in ensuring fairness in the award and administration of large contracts in the construction sector.

Cindy Penrose has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Victoria’s truth telling process, the Yoorrook Justice Commission.
