All Victorians are now invited to be part of truth telling by making a submission to Yoorrook. Submissions had previously been open to First Peoples only.

Yoorrook recently completed a month of public hearings during which Commissioners questioned government ministers and senior bureaucrats about injustices against First Peoples in the criminal justice and child protection systems.

The Yoorrook Justice Commission will now run until June 2025 after being granted a 12-month extension by the Victorian Government.
