The Yoorrook Justice Commission will help Australians understand what happened when Europeans arrived and how it led to ongoing Indigenous suffering writes Commissioner Travis Lovett.

Did you know that Yoorrook has a range of protections for people who want to share information with the commission?

“I think it’s important to set the record straight about what really happened and continues to happen to us. I feel the rest of Australia would have more empathy for us if they knew the truth. Also, mob telling their story will help Yoorrook influence changes to policies which will create a better future for our children.”

All Victorians can make a submission to Yoorrook. Everyone has a role to play in truth telling.

Joseph is a Truth Receiver with the Yoorrook Justice Commission – Victoria’s truth-telling inquiry. He helps Community to make submissions to Yoorrook.
