About us

The Australian Human Rights Institute breaks silos between academic research and real-world problems to progress human rights.

We deliver multidisciplinary, applied research, empowering communities and educating the next generation of human rights leaders.

We work in partnership with government, industry and human rights defenders through advocacy, education and public engagement to achieve impact.

The Institute builds on the outstanding legacy of the Australian Human Rights Centre which, since its establishment in 1986, has increased public awareness and academic scholarship on human rights through research, public lectures and events, and publications.
