Book a Human Rights Policy Masterclass!

People at a recent Human RIghts Policy masterclass in Brisbane City.

The Human Rights Unit delivers free training sessions which are designed to help policy officers across government to assess the impacts of policy and legislation on human rights in their area of work.

We work with you to tailor the content of training sessions to focus on the issues that arise in the day-to-day work of participants.

If you are interested in organising human rights policy training for your team, please get in touch with us at humanrightsunit@justice.qld.gov.au.
