Submissions

Through submissions to Yoorrook, people right across Victoria have shared their truths on the impacts of colonisation on First Peoples and the strength and resistance shown.

We invite all Victorians to engage with these powerful truths that document experiences of land dispossession, child protection and criminal justice systems, health and education and ongoing systemic challenges, as well as stories of cultural resistance and community connection.

These submissions are more than just documents - they are living testimonies to help learn the truth of our shared history, and walk together to transform our shared future.
