How to call out racism
Managing difficult conversations has its challenges and we encourage you to take the opportunity to inform yourself by attending training and by seeking advice.
The Australian Human Rights Commission has developed an anti-racism e-learning course designed to support a deepened understanding of racism, anti-racism and related concepts. If you are interested in engaging with this e-learning, please submit an Expression of Interest via the PWSS Academy.
